Designed by NAW Studio, the Flow House comes equipped with a unique curved facade that is inundated with a trio of gaps that aim to promote air flow much like a vent. In addition to promoting the infiltration of air, the shape of the facade also aims to mitigate exposure to the sun, which is all the more important considering that the facade faces west. In addition to boosting comfort without requiring gratuitous amounts of air conditioning, the curved facade of this family dwelling also gives it a unique and beautiful aesthetic appeal.
