Villa Long Take
Villa Long Take rethinks the familiar north–south, two-courtyard villa that typically reads as outside–inside–outside. Instead, the project extends both courtyards through the center of the house to create a single, continuous exterior—a spatial long take with no cuts, where open-air experience is carried from one side to the other.
At the heart of the scheme is an open-air tunnel that replaces the conventional corridor separating public and private zones. This void links the shaded northern court to the sunlit southern court and powers natural ventilation: warm air rises from the south, cooler air is drawn from the north, and adjustable openings amplify the draft, allowing the house to breathe without mechanical effort.
Geometrically, the villa stages a precise encounter between two archetypes—the arch and the pitched roof. Their intersection generates a continuous spatial envelope that both defines the interior and clarifies edges between domains; as this envelope extends southward and is cut open, the southern façade emerges directly—without alteration—from the inherent potential of the geometry.
In a context where neighboring views are limited, the house turns inward to stage a festival of outsides at its core. Here, elements of life that are usually kept apart are drawn into new alignments where their thresholds touch—creating surprising moments in which swimming meets cooking or bathing.
