The Villa is located on a steep ridge overlooking the entire city with endless picturesque views throughout. As a living entity, the house lives and grows in harmony with the landscape and topography of the site.
The main entry of the house conceals the intricate change of levels at the backside the entrance to the house is at the same level with the road while the main bedroom level is just a meter higher than that.
In order to take advantage of the slope of the plot, the house was divided into seven splitlevels having the stair act as the organizing element, the heart and connector of all the spaces, both horizontally and vertically.
Landscaped gardens surround the entire house; all external plateaus can be accessed from all internal levels and all facades. A vanishing edge swimming pool becomes the climax to the dynamic geometry of the house as it blends with the horizon.
With the exception of the wooden cladding on the underside of the winged roof, the entire house is painted in one color, allowing it - and the champagne colored window frames - to change color through the day as the sun and shade move around.
