The house is located in an
especially beautiful site, surrounded by panoramic views that extend toward the
city and the sea. The project proposes integration into the environment respecting
the strategies of adaptation to nature and its materials. For a maximum use of
the space, the roof is used an open air terrace and we added a swimming pool so
the residents can enjoy the views and the surroundings.
The volume is divided into horizontal
slices; each slice is treated in a different way with different materials.
We provided an integration of
natural cuts in the terrain, as the face and the base of certain rooms, in
order to transmit the feeling of the earth with its smells and changes in
humidity and shades.The slices are then
pushed and modeled on both sides: our volume starts to appear.
We organized the required
functional program in a rational and coherent manner with conditions of the
plot (the living area is pushed to the front to enhance the view). We used
materials such as exposed concrete, wood and natural stones, to enhance the
separation of the volume.
