… We enter the house in between the huge pine trees. The forest filtrates all the way penetrating inside the villa through complete transparency from one side and filtration from the other side through the use of piloti disappearing within the trees. The intervention envelopes the trees creating two aisles reaching the main reception space situated at the top of the pine trees due to the sloping natural site. The trees remind you of a cloud framing the horizon. The pool is suspended at the extreme end of the villa highlighting the horizon effect initiating a feeling of freedom. The roof is an enclosed space conceived between two monumental beams allowing the user to inhabit two lofts surrounding the Patio connected through a huge wooden terrace. The two beams gradually disappear creating an interesting tension towards the sea. The roof & the floor are made of dark, glossy material allowing the villa to melt within the existing playfully landscaping and reflecting it.”
