the building resembles a contemporary mediterranean villa, significantly reducing traditional elements and translating them into a clear, modern design language. the white plaster surfaces, natural stone, wood, and the close connection between interior and exterior spaces are particularly striking.
the villa consists of several low, cubic structures arranged asymmetrically side by side and partially stacked on top of each other. this results in a compositional sequence of volumes, terraces, and recesses rather than a classic, symmetrical main facade.
a two-story cube sits slightly set back above the single-story main building, creating a vertical accent. the remaining building sections are deliberately low and blend more seamlessly into the landscape.
the white plastered facades are the most important design element. the smooth surfaces reflect the strong mediterranean light and create a striking contrast to the vegetation, wood, and natural stone. the facades facing the pool are opened up with floor-to-ceiling, slender glass fronts. this makes the living spaces appear almost like pavilions that extend directly onto the terrace and garden.
the transition between indoors and outdoors is thus a central architectural theme.
the wooden pergola over the central area creates a warm contrast to the white, rather abstract cubic form. at the same time, it casts shadows and transforms the terrace into a distinct outdoor space.
