Casa de Ondas
Casa de Ondas – the house of waves – is designed by award winning-international architecture firm SAOTA in collaboration with M Gooden Design. Other design members include Ink + Oro, HOCKER, Steve Hild Custom Builder and Lux Populi.
The property is located in a garden estate in Preston Hollow characterized by the ancient oak trees that occupy it. The architecture uses local limestone-clad planar walls to define the edge of the home, enclosing and defining the interior and exterior rooms as a series of pavilions in the garden. Where the arrival perception of the home is solid and discreet, beyond the entry the spaces become transparent and fluid, always with an adjacency to the landscape via garden or a courtyard. The main living space, double-volume and glazed, is capped with a sculptural, undulating roof – a gesture to the surrounding tree canopies.
The single-story planar walls are cocooning and spatial devices; but also form the canvas for the landscape to be displayed against – the trees are transcended to sculptures in an outdoor gallery.
