Casa Riviera | Street Elevation
Set on a compact 267m² lot, Casa Riviera was designed to establish a strong street presence without overwhelming its context.
The elevation is deliberately restrained and carefully composed, with each element serving a purpose. Crisp rendered forms, deep reveals and a limited material palette create a refined expression, while the large cantilevered overhang provides depth and shelter and helps define the entry below.
A double-height boundary parapet forms a strong edge to the home, balanced by the softer curved profile of the upper level and the openness of the recessed balcony.
Despite the constraints of a small site, the façade was designed to have presence. Bold where required, restrained where appropriate, and deliberately integrated into the scale and rhythm of the surrounding streetscape.
