About the Award-Winning Residential Architecture Design: Ripple House is a sculptural masterpiece that transforms space into a living artwork while overcoming the challenge of limited natural light common in attached dwellings. A custom designed screen by the architect, Sam Alawie, casts shifting light patterns, mimicking the fluid dance of water droplets as sunlight moves throughout the day. A central double height void floods the home with natural light, creating openness and connection between levels. More than a residence, Ripple House is an immersive experience where architecture, light, and nature harmonize in ever evolving experience.
This palette has a calming feel, evoking peaceful balance.
