Design
This architectural project embodies Mediterranean aesthetics, characterized by a harmonious blend of natural elements. The design focuses on the use of materials such as stone, white, and glass to evoke a sense of purity and tranquility. The use of stone not only enhances the traditional aesthetics but also ensures lasting durability, integrating perfectly with the surrounding landscape. White, used for surfaces and walls, reflects natural light, amplifying the brightness of the interior spaces and creating an atmosphere of serenity. Glass, finally, serves as a continuity element between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing light to flow freely and offering panoramic views of the landscape.
Composition
The architectural volumes are carefully designed to balance functionality and aesthetics, generating a perfect symphony of textures and shadows. Pure geometric shapes and clean lines convey a sense of order and modernity, while the textured surfaces of the stone add depth and character. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the finishes of the surfaces to the joints between different materials, creating a coherent and refined visual effect. The lighting, both natural and artificial, is designed to enhance the architectural features and create evocative atmospheres during the day and night.
This architectural project is not only a homage to Mediterranean aesthetics but also an example of how contemporary design can respect and enhance the natural environment. The combination of materials, forms, details, and technologies creates a space that is both innovative and rooted in tradition, offering a unique living experience deeply connected with nature.
Nature
The presence of vegetation throughout the space creates a deep connection with nature. Plants and gardens are strategically distributed, promoting a harmonious interaction between architecture and the natural environment. These vegetative elements not only improve aesthetics but also contribute to the well-being of the inhabitants, providing shade, coolness, and a pleasant microclimate.
