The design of the luxury villas compound required a unique methodology to approach the concept.

From the beginning an emphasis was given to the quality of the spaces and their functional hierarchy in the passage from the formal zones to the semi-private and the family courts and finally to the most private layers of the dwelling. Such succession is expressed externally by the grandeur of the formal entrance with its plaza and symmetry, to the still luxurious but more human scale family entrance. The same is elaborated in the journey from the internal double height spaces to the more enclosed and private rooms.

This approach of the successive privacy layers offered the palace-like villa multiple views and frames offering sensational and evocative spaces. This is further expressed in our design by the implementation of various courtyards linked to each other by wide galleries offering an experience animated by the interplay of shadows and light. This is further articulated in the synergy between the villa and its settings, where the surrounding landscape becomes a powerful design tool to blur the physical limits of the dwelling.

Ponds, internal and external courtyards, gardens, fountains, gazebos and water-fall pools are all used not only to indulge one's senses but also as key sustainable tools to regulate the temperature of the villa by enhancing the natural flow of air and also to offer a genuine atmosphere of both direct and indirect natural light.
