Twentyfour is a contemporary re-imagining of the traditional architecture of the typical village core. Situated in Rabat, Malta, the residence takes the fundamental principles of the traditional townhouse, re-imagining them in the present – in this way, it can seamlessly integrate with its surroundings whilst simultaneously distinguishing itself as a contemporary work.

A timeless design is created through the use of a monochromatic palette and strategic illumination, whilst curvilinear elements establish a spatial hierarchy as well as bring warmth to the interiors of this home. 

​

The residence spans five levels. The communal space at ground is connected to the upper levels through a traditional staircase, amplified by an overhead skylight and dramatic drapery. The next levels house the private quarters – bedrooms and a study, as well as a leisure area which opens onto an expansive terrace that is connected to the rooftop by an external staircase, ideal for entertaining.

Twentyfour personifies minimalism, creating harmony between the past and future, blending tradition and innovation. It showcases the evolution of the traditional townhouse, retaining its identity whilst creating a contemporary edge. By blurring the line between tradition and modernity, the project epitomizes contemporary living and sets the stage for this kind of architectural exploration.
