Wide Tropical Gable Residence Design for Athurugiriya
A wide, gently pitched gable stretches over the main upper volume of this tropical residence. Stone-textured walls frame broad glazing, while a side carport and projecting entrance elements give the long facade several points of depth.
Design notes
What this design explores
A wide, gently pitched gable stretches over the main upper volume of this tropical residence. Stone-textured walls frame broad glazing, while a side carport and projecting entrance elements give the long facade several points of depth. A tall patterned screen adds a vertical counterpoint to the dominant horizontal roof.
For an Athurugiriya family-house concept, this image supports a brief with a broad garden frontage rather than an especially narrow street elevation. The open foreground should not be mistaken for a confirmed plot size or a required minimum land area.
Structa can test whether the actual land can accommodate the width while preserving useful side access. The large roof and upper windows need a coordinated shading and rainwater strategy. The relationship between the carport roof and main roof is another detail to resolve early, keeping maintenance access and water discharge clear at the junction.
