St. Barts Residence by Barnes Coy Architects
St. Barts Residence is a house which looks like a villa with wonderful surrounding view. Under Barnes Coy Architects, this project already executed in 2007. Dominated by Grey natural stone for house wall, this house has strong connection to the nature. The concept of this house which is located in St. Barthelemy, France is creating relaxing house with have full access to surrounding.
Project Description:
The house is sited on a high, thin peninsula, affording 270 degree views from South through West to North. The long axis of the house is perpendicular to the axis of the peninsula, aligning it with sunrise and sunset. The main space is open from North to South, with bedrooms behind a wall that angles away toward the South-East, making the space wider at the West end of the house. The effect is akin to a lens opening up to the view across a bay and other islands beyond. Each bedroom opens to a private walled terrace with an outdoor shower beneath a pergola.
The West and South facades are floor-to-ceiling glass panels. The glass panels part at the corner and slide into the exterior walls, opening the house completely and allowing the Pennsylvania Limestone wall to extend beyond without interruption. This allows for a seamless connection between the main living space and the exterior spaces, engaging the entire site as an extension of the house.
The walls are Pennsylvania limestone, floors are sucupira wood, countertops are polished concrete, terraces are bluestone. (source : Archdaily
