A modern villa composed of horizontal stone volumes, where the architecture is organised around a central courtyard with a pool. The use of natural stone, vertical wooden screens, and deep terraces creates a balance between openness and privacy, responding to both climate and lifestyle. Outdoor living is treated as an extension of the house, with shaded areas, soft landscaping, and a calm, Mediterranean-inspired atmosphere adapted to the local context.
The spatial organisation revolves around the courtyard, allowing light, views, and movement to flow naturally through the house. Upper volumes create protected outdoor spaces below, while the controlled openings and material palette ensure comfort, intimacy, and a strong architectural identity.
