the concrete 'pentahouse' by wamhouse studio is inspired by the shape of mountains



in reference to rocks which make up a mountain-face, concrete has been selected as the structural material. on the elevations, these concrete façades are punctuated by large elements of glazing, bringing in light to the interior and also breaking up the monumental aesthetic of the building. the design of the ‘pentahouse’ is completed by a tailored garden landscape, in which concrete pavements are also partially based on a pentagonal plan.



planned by the architect for a single family, the ‘pentahouse’ covers a usable floor area of 6243 ft2 (580 m2), with an additional 1528 ft2 (142 m2) assigned for an underground garage space. the massing of the building is made up of several extruded pentagons of varying sizes, further highlighting the mountain concept as the structure as a whole resembles a range of peaks together. these separate forms provide for different functions, with the smallest volume housing the entrance, which then grows to double its size to contain a second floor level.
