Located in an enclave of great beauty and landscape value, facing the Mediterranean Sea, the villa rests on the top of a hillside, flanked by a tongue of land and surrounded by green areas to the north.
A set of independent elements is shot in different directions, compressing and expanding the visuals, generating multiple scenes. The vertical planes are boundedby long horizontal overhangs that extend looking for the sea, generating porches that delimit the extensive space of the terrace. By their constructive system, the overhangs do not rely on the walls, but rather fit between them.
The house offers a contrasting image on its two longitudinal facades. The access north, more hermetic and opaque, is protected by a system of adjustable and motorized wooden slats. However, the south facade is much more permeable and transparent. The vertical concrete planes are closed by large glass cloths, which are sheltered thanks to the overhangs.
