Plains view Villa

The client here sought to develop a get-away house on his up-country lot. The project attempts to create a dialogue between a somewhat classical site and a contemporary approach to the articulation of space.

First are the traditional spatial elements, such as the courtyard, the flat roof and the porch; built on a slope. Then, an open plan continuous space with a large glazed backyard facade that gives opportunities for natural lighting and vast views over the plains. The external space is lushly landscaped, with abundant lawns and a reflecting pool to complement it.
