CLIFF VILLA

Floor surfaces shoot out of the envelope into space, to create shade and ample space for outdoor entertainment. The slab edges taper gently and make the hovering slabs appear paper-thin. The rectilinear language of the project discretely contrasts with nature and the organic surroundings, while retaining the well-integrated character of mountain shelters. At this altitude the summers are pleasant and the inhabitants of the two dwellings will spend most of their time outdoors; sharing the multiple platforms wedged into the hill, be they rooftops or terraces that extend from the interior.
