Villa
Yarze started with an existing eclectic house in a large landscape. The project
was approached by keeping certain characteristic sections of the existing house
and adding new programs and spaces to it. Attention was given to large lit
openings, integration of stone lintels and pedestals to the facade, while
creating a contemporary result. The landscape integrates the several natural
levels of the house, while breaking the scale of the resulting retaining walls.
The hard and soft landscaping makes use of native trees, fruit trees and herbal
shrubs, to create a raw natural context.
