The twin villas, designed for two brothers, are conceived to fully integrate with the steep hillside, creating a sense of unity between the architecture and the natural landscape. The villas follow the slope of the land, utilizing the contours to minimize excavation and reduce the visual impact on the environment. By embedding the structures into the hill, the design maintains a low profile, allowing the homes to appear as though they are part of the terrain itself.
Each villa features a green roof, which merges with the surrounding vegetation, providing insulation, stormwater management, and a natural aesthetic that reduces the overall footprint. These living roofs act as extensions of the landscape, softening the presence of the buildings and allowing them to age gracefully within their environment.
Both villas include private pools, carefully positioned to offer expansive views of the surrounding area while preserving privacy. Though the villas are nearly identical in form to honour the bond between the brothers, subtle differences in orientation and layout create individuality, allowing each villa to capture unique perspectives of the landscape.
Large glass facades bring in natural light and create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, blurring the boundaries between the homes and their environment. The use of locally sourced materials, such as stone and wood, ensures the villas harmonize with the natural surroundings while promoting sustainability. These materials, in combination with passive design strategies, contribute to energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
The twin villas represent a balanced fusion of modern living and nature, emphasizing the brothers’ shared connection while allowing for personal expression through individualized design elements.
