Joel Jospe Architects have designed a private residence that looks like it was meant to be built seventy years ago. Huge wooden gates instantly change the direction of the design, although it’s hard not to see it as a potential public office building. Stone cladding and elaborate roof give it a grand modernist feel.

The designs were created to provide lots of shade and natural ventilation by using overhangs, shutters and small window openings sunk into the surface of the wall to reduce glare.
