The exclusive villa is comprised of two individual buildings that form an L-shape, framing the garden and a central pool area. The east house placed on top of a hilly part of the property, opens up to the sea, and the west house is slightly tucked away, providing a more sheltered feel.
The barn-like structure effortlessly blends into the landscape, enclosing the outdoor common areas while framing the general view towards the sea. The architecture is composed of local materials that create the overall natural look and tactile feel of the house, blending into the nature with large openings and soft transitions.
In the east house there are outdoor living spaces, porches, with switching levels defining thresholds between them. Large sliding doors open key spaces to the garden. Shutters are made of wood to avoid glass surfaces. Whereas the common areas of the west house have a more intimate and enclosed feel. The rooms, too, are withdrawn and private, with minimal interiors and décor, providing space to retreat to when needed.
The generous roofs of the 2 buildings cover these indoor/outdoor spaces from rain and sun, allowing this special feeling of being in nature in a protected and comfortable manner.
