The stress of urban living is well known. Hectic schedules, uncomfortable commutes, lack of access to nature. This villa was designed as an antidote to the cumulative effect of such pressures. The home is crafted as a calming space that welcomes sunlight and greenery with open arms and adds their beneficial presence to soothing juxtapositions of pastels and timber following the philosophy of biophilia.

Outside Inside

The home’s architecture effortlessly fuses light, air, greenery, materials, and scenic vistas, employing a vocabulary that exudes serenity and harmony in a holistic manner. This intuitive interaction with the forces of nature creates a dynamism that lends itself to the indoor-outdoor dialogue that is at the heart of the architecture.

Very Vocal for Local
