Private residential complex, containing a 3-story house, garage with additional story, guest house, and pool house.
The starting point of the design was the client’s wish to have a complete residence dedicated to long-term living, complete with a significant number of amenities. The design focuses on on-site features, from works areas to a private pool to a private gym. The central point is the primary residence, a 3-story, 3-bedroom, 5-bathroom, complete with a double-height living room, gym, large kitchen, and office.

Because the terrain is sloped, the main house is built into the ground, resulting in the entrance being on the first floor (level 0) and the opening up to the landscape on the ground floor (-1). The first floor houses the private spaces, the bedrooms. The entrance opens up into a large double-height space overlooking the bedroom, with direct views of the back yard.
The ground floor opens up into the backyard with the remaining units: the guest house, a 1-bedroom design, the covered pool, and the outdoor terrace. On the right side, a staircase leads to the ground floor. The backyard is designed as a single level with a fireplace in the middle, close to the outdoor kitchen.
The use of large glazed surfaces, along with a wooden finish on the facade and a single-slope roof results in a contemporary design. This design is then extended to the adjacent building, the guest house, the pool house, and the garage.
The house is divided functionally into the 3 floors. The ground floor is dedicated to the family spaces, living room, kitchen, office, and gym. The first floor contains the bedrooms and the master suite. The second floor contains a lounge space dedicated to visitors, as well as a wrap-around terrace.
