The Concept
The linear nature of the Mediterranean land together with the uneven topography of the site is taken as the structural principals in developing the concept of the house. It was the linearity of the plantation surrounding the plot that particularly drew our attention. It seemed as though nature was calling on us to follow the linearity model of the landscape and be part of its eco system. As a result the architecture follows the lines of the surrounding vineyard and olive landscapes which are implemented consistently down to the finest interior detail.

The design
The planning of the house is structured along a longitudinal axis running parallel to the plantation but also coinciding with the best sun orientation, winds and views. A linear typology was chosen for the design, a concept that produces architecture of a series of spaces organized along a pathway. Consequently this typology allows the interior to have specific relationship with the outside through small or big openings allowing thus fragments of unobstructed views to be visible from every room.

A perforated sliding screen system made of expanded aluminium mesh panels covers the whole 27m length of the floor’s façade. It filters the strong Mediterranean sunlight sheltering the veranda and protecting the interior. The micro openings of the ‘’perforated wall’’ becomes a white canvas framing the landscape and highlighting the connection that the house establishes with the nature.

The landscape is appearing in the house in a multiple guises with framed views creating a rich interior and improving the comfort and pleasure of the occupants. Large, small or micro openings searching outside capture and filter the Mediterranean light and landscape establishing a powerful relationship between people and nature and nature and building. Our proposal enhances the linear aesthetic character of the countryside and uses our intervention to nature as a backdrop to view the Mediterranean scenery. We designed a simple, strong silhouette to provide the setting to frame and enjoy the surroundings.
