Ciasem House is a thoughtful response to the city's intense sun, heavy rains, and bustling surroundings. Designed for a couple and their three children, the home is shaped by a simple yet powerful idea: stacking. Three offset boxes rise vertically, each representing a level of privacy—the higher the box, the more private the space.

The middle box shields the home from the busy street with solid walls, while the semi-open top box allows filtered light and views, doubling as the roof. Gaps between the stacked volumes create the illusion of floating forms and offer shaded, in-between spaces that blur indoor and outdoor living.

A fourth vertical box, housing the staircase and elevator, ties the stacked volumes together. Each box is clad in a unique material palette—wood, steel, glass, and concrete—clearly expressing the different zones and their functions.

Entry is discreet, tucked along a side walkway leading to a spacious terrace. The ground floor serves as the service zone, while the second floor hosts lively family spaces with high ceilings and seamless garden connections. The third floor holds the private bedrooms, arranged around a central courtyard. A rooftop terrace crowns the house, offering panoramic views.
