Archipelago Villa’s concept is born from the idea of living the house independently for each inhabitant. A young family with teenage daughters. The home has been organized into independent areas or islands, each with its own character and function. At the same time, every island establishes a unique relationship with its own garden and connects with the other rooms through the common spaces that link them naturally.
All islands visually connect with the garden that surrounds them by the outer perimeter. In addition, they turn towards a central atrium. These visual connections are one of the main ideas that articulate the design of the house.
Thus, from the aromatic garden that is located next to the entrance of the house one can see the large central atrium that houses as its core an infinity pool, located right in front of the living room. All islands maintain these interior-exterior relationships with each other and with open spaces. In this way, the house flows, opens and relates to the outside, maintaining its autonomy and privacy.
The roof design is another key element of the project. A large roof is common to all the islands and provides them with shelter, unity and shade. With this the archipelago is closed. This ceramic roof has a great visual presence. It is a flat ribbon that wraps around the house and floats over it.
The project is completed with three large skylights that provide spaciousness and additional natural light in key spaces of the home.
