ON SITE

2009 – 2010

The house is set on a hillside surrounded by pine trees, overlooking an open landscape. The entrance façade, closed and private, contrasts with the southwest façade, which opens outwards and features a double-height portico on the garden side.

All of this is integrated into a Mediterranean landscape designed to provide privacy, shade and visual protection.

 The house extends along the site through a series of volumes that gradually rise with the slope, from the access road to the double-height living room at the upper level.
