Block-Box Villa is a difficult “problem” not because of the limited area, but because of its huge scale, complex functional requirements, and especially high expectations for a strong design language, rich in contemporary identity. On a 1300m2 plot of land, the team of architects had to create a multi-layered, multi-functional complex with a total floor area of over 2500m2, including a lobby, large living room, dining room, full private entertainment spaces such as karaoke room, chill bar next to the swimming pool, luxurious master apartment and relaxation area.
The problem is not in “filling” space with function, but in the art of organizing massive volumes so that they fit together and transition smoothly within a consistent visual language. From there, design options are developed in the direction of emphasizing the movement of shapes, fully exploiting light, materials and structures as key elements in creating space.
The contemporary architectural language is clearly affirmed through the contrast between the solid concrete block and the transparent Low-E glass. Concrete is both a protective shell and the main shaping element, beveled, rotating the volume along all three spatial axes, thereby creating a lively facade with many layers of depth. Glass is used with large cross-sections, helping to expand the visual space and bring nature into the house naturally, while reflecting the surrounding environment, connecting inside and outside.
The back of the villa has a 29m long balcony stretching across the building, facing the swimming pool, with a contrasting ecological style, creating an identifiable mark as a strong architectural statement. Here, the ecological spirit and industrial quality are blended, creating a feeling of relaxation without losing the symbolic shape.
The overall front and back facades are designed as two "architectural sculptures", talking to each other through a spatial axis throughout the building. This axis runs along the length of the broken L-shaped land, connecting the two facades located on two different routes.
A key design decision was to raise the first floor 1.6m above the garden, not only increasing privacy but also creating a sense of dignity for the main space. The steps are designed as “transition platforms”, leading users through many levels of space from the entrance to the center of the villa. The swimming pool area at the back becomes a separate oasis, separated from the urban space, bringing a sense of relaxation, not unlike a high-class resort.
The finishing layer uses concrete effect paint with a gentle gradient, making the strong surfaces softer and more emotional, while avoiding the monotony often found in works using concrete as the main material. The entire process of creating shapes, handling light, materials, and organizing traffic space all demonstrate consistency in design thinking.
