Description
Set within a gently sloping natural landscape, this single-storey residence is conceived as a composition of clearly articulated volumes that respond sensitively to both the terrain and the Mediterranean environment. The project is organized as two independent yet complementary units—the main residence and an auxiliary storage building—each functioning autonomously while forming a coherent architectural ensemble.
The main dwelling unfolds on a single level, organized around a sequence of interconnected spaces that promote fluid movement and a strong relationship between interior and exterior. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are conceived as an open and continuous space, extending naturally toward shaded outdoor terraces that enhance daily living and encourage year-round use of the exterior. Two bedrooms and supporting spaces complete the layout, offering comfort, privacy, and spatial clarity. Pergola-covered outdoor areas further enrich the domestic experience, providing filtered light and climatic protection.
The architectural expression is defined by a composition of orthogonal volumes with flat roofs, arranged to create subtle variations in height and depth. This volumetric articulation reduces the scale of the building and allows it to sit harmoniously within the landscape. The use of conventional flat roofs reinforces the clarity of the form while maintaining a contemporary yet contextually sensitive character.
Material choices emphasize simplicity and permanence. Earth-toned plastered surfaces, natural stone elements, and restrained detailing allow the architecture to blend seamlessly with the surrounding terrain. The palette reflects the colors and textures of the local environment, reinforcing a sense of continuity between the built and natural landscapes.
Outdoor spaces play an essential role in the overall design. Terraces, courtyards, and landscaped areas extend the living spaces outward, while existing vegetation is preserved and integrated into the composition. The relationship between built form and open space is carefully calibrated to ensure privacy, comfort, and visual continuity with the site.
