Silvas Residence

Each area or room of the residence has its own level, arranged in a spiral step-up around the chimney. The difference in levels is fixed by the use of 2 foot beams.
Plaster is intended to be sprayed over the light wood structure to provide a continuous surface. The project’s interiors are also finished in plaster.
The floors will be hardwood in the living areas, vinyl asbestos tile in the kitchen and ceramic tile in the baths.
Skylights are used to give added light to the inner part of the living areas.
