t w e n t y f o u r emerges as a contemporary reimagining of conventional architectural norms, situated in Rabat, Malta. The residence seamlessly integrates with its surroundings by adhering to the timeless aesthetics of Maltese architecture while infusing a contemporary sensibility. This design ethos extends inward, where a subdued and inviting ambiance is meticulously crafted through a harmonious interplay of illumination and a monochromatic palette. The strategic incorporation of curvilinear elements further orchestrates a sense of spatial hierarchy within the interiors.
Functionally, the residence spans on five levels. The initial tier serves as a communal space, seamlessly connected to the remaining levels via a traditional staircase. Culminating in an overhead skylight, this ascent becomes pivotal for interior illumination.
The subsequent level houses private quarters, that includes the bedrooms. Progressing upward, the second floor stands as a zone for an art studio and leisure, opening onto an expansive terrace linked to the rooftop by external staircase. A testament to the timeless allure of minimalism, twentyfour illuminates how architectural design can harmonize the past and the future, the traditional and the contemporary.
Embodied in pure architectural elements, it becomes a living case study, showcasing the evolution of terraced housing, and thus creating an architectural identity that speaks of its time. By melding tradition with innovation, the project epitomizes contemporary living and lays a foundation for future architectural exploration.
