Batrun Annex-1by SOMA Architects

Using a virtual knife to carve out a plane from the earth and raise it as if were annullable skin, we then inserted all the living functions directly underneath in the form of an open-floor plan with no partitions.

Skylights are then worked into the project by strategically puncturing the hard concrete shell to allow for extra natural lighting. The result is a perfectly protected, but totally open interior space.
