H3 Residence

H3 is shaped by the soft desert light and the shifting Atlantic climate of Swakopmund. A perforated brick screen defines the street edge, a textured veil that offers privacy while filtering light and wind. Behind this protective layer, the architecture unfolds in warm timber, textured plaster, stone and glass, forming a calm, layered composition that becomes increasingly open as it transitions toward the heart of the home.

At its center, a sheltered courtyard creates a wind-protected outdoor living space anchored by a sculpted fireplace wall. Deep reveals, generous overhangs and carefully aligned views ground the home in its coastal environment, allowing H3 to weather gracefully while expressing a timeless, place-rooted architectural character.
