Project 02

4 villa multi-residential Palm Beach, site constraints of a raised ground floor level to allow overland flow and restrictive height constraints, while still providing a comfortable 4 bed 3 bath luxury villa with double car garage, resulting in open 'split level’ planning.

The building form is an elegant dialectic of monolithic and delicate architectural elements. To balance the solidity of the 3 storey building expressed on mid-level with a solid box, the facade was conceived as delicate and lightweight.

ABOUT Vaughn

Equally at home with large or small-scale design programs: this double perspective allows to study various projects from the perspective of human scale, complimenting the approach that is adopted to bigger issues of urbanism and architecture.

To conceive designs through rigorous analysis and research. A methodological approach and experience has allowed to develop complex and unorthodox designs for built environment and planning.

To engage cutting-edge design solutions yet deeply rooted in memory; with emphasis on heritage and sustainable design. Taking great interest in materials (traditional | vernacular or state of the art) detailing and build quality.
