February 2, 2010 Contemporary House Design
Jewell Box is Tropical House was designed by Magnus Architects.
From Architects : ” Having traveled the world, the owners wanted to come home to their own tropical paradise.
The garage/study was separated from the main house, creating a view corridor from the rear yard to the bay. the canopy overhang develops a tropical lanai; it directs prevailing western breezes across the second story windows and shades the expanse of glass from southern exposure. ”

January 12, 2010 Summer House Design
From Architects : ” The building was thought of as a tool to help explore the qualities and sensations of the site and surrounding nature. Through a conscious handling of the daylight on naked surfaces and shading laths, the mode of climate and weather outside always becomes present inside.
The theme plans has been to divide the house into different zones, the use of which depends on the climate and condition of the weather. The main functions are concentrated in a core area. Which is well insulated and can be heated in winter. During warmer periods, the habitable area can be extended to the adjoining veranda and hallway, which are heated only by solar radiation. A glazed canopy on horizontal laths provides yet another sheltered zone along the facade. ” Designed by WRB Architects
