The site for this private villa is treated as a series of strips
parallel to its slope. The house delineates one entire strip oriented
towards the view, while a pool and landscaped spaces differentiate the
others. A folding horizontal plane generates the villa’s plateaus and
living spaces, consequently defining its walls and roof. Wide reception
openings heighten the view, while narrow vertical slots form private
sleeping spaces. The villa remains horizontal as the slope passes under,
creating visual access across the landscape.
