Lambda is a weightless building whose only structure would be the exoskeleton, a space frame containing the house itself. Two triangles cantilever off one another ─ one champfered at the rear to add to the aerodynamic quality ─ with the whole structure seemingly balanced on a single point. The fact that the largely glazed walls of the house are set well back from the exoskeleton adds to the impression of this delicately poised composition of triangular forms. Generous eaves, along with the canopies, provide privacy and sun protection.

Established in 2008, Mercurio Design Lab Srl (MDL) is an Italian design studio that spun off from one of Italy's largest and most prestigious architectural firms, AMA Group. With a focus on high-end residential and commercial projects across the Asia Pacific, MDL has become known for its bold iconic design. To date, it has footprints across prestigious addresses in Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Jakarta (Indonesia), Haining City (China), Guilin (China) among many others. MDL is a hub for architects, engineers and designers who create and bring into reality structurally meaningful and beautiful works, using creativity and artistic sense as well as always respecting the functional, the aesthetic and the social. MDL has made great strides through the years always striving towards balancing aesthetics and functionality. Our design services range from master-planning and architectural projects to interior design and industrial design. We are also involved in artistic projects and sculpture installations. Under the direction of Managing Director, Massimo Mercurio, MDL has steered towards a more challenging tier of the lifestyle design industry; right alongside the stylish, trend-setting brands that the Italians are so renowned for. As the Asian market flourishes, an insatiable thirst for good design ideas arises. Here at MDL, we recognise the potential of Italian input to satisfy that thirst, and are poised to do just that. In doing so, we serve to fuse two extremely interesting cultures – Italian and Asian – together. On the one hand, there is Italy with its long history, coupled with its evolving modern style. On the other hand, there is the vibrancy of Asia with its own long history on its shoulders. Here at MDL, we hope to bring out the best of the two distinct cultures, creating art that is not only avant-garde, but also enduring.
