About the
Project

The project is conceived as a low-profile residential ensemble that prioritizes horizontality, landscape integration, and climatic responsiveness.

Rather than forming a compact mass, the architecture is broken into two offset volumes, reducing visual scale and allowing the buildings to step naturally with the topography. This fragmentation creates intermediate outdoor spaces and enhances privacy while maintaining visual continuity across the site.

The
Result

The building sits lightly within its surroundings. Minimal ground disturbance, terraced levels, and the use of retaining walls allow the architecture to adapt to the slope rather than dominate it. The open ground level and elevated volumes preserve views across the site and maintain a visual connection between architecture and landscape.

Overall, the project represents a contemporary, site-specific reinterpretation of Mediterranean residential architecture. It merges modernist clarity with vernacular principles—shade, proportion, and outdoor living—resulting in an architecture that is both timeless and environmentally attuned, calm yet spatially generous, and firmly rooted in its context.
