The house is organized around a central patio.
The dialogue with the natural terrain of the plot as well as the unobstructed visual views of the land were elements crucial to the design.
The visitor enters from the highest point of the patio from where the movements are distributed around the three living areas of the house – the master bedroom, the guest rooms and the lounge area – and the swimming pool.
The morphology of the patio follows the outer sloping terrain gradually descending through a path of terraces and outdoor seating areas. Its final level, in combination with the airy living room, constitutes an expanded covered balcony to the sea.
The section of the house levels creates an internal microcosm of spaces and movements, constituting a path that can bypass the enclosed spaces and end up outside the plot around the side of the daily activities volume.
The individual volumes are embraced by a dynamic curved, unifying outer skin that holds the whole together and forms a characteristically acute, yet silent gesture of a human intervention on the natural landscape.
