Situated in a Mediterranean olive grove landscape, Zgharta house negotiates conditions of inclined topography, views and privacy.
The house is organized in two L-shaped horizontal levels that follow the natural terrain: The lower level comprises bedrooms, bathrooms, and technical spaces. The upper level is dedicated to the main living space, dining, kitchen and library. The extrusion of the two horizontal levels creates a third space, an outdoor courtyard which allows the landscape to slide throughout the house.
A u-shaped stone wall wraps diagonally around the two floors, creating an intense outer edge, and a serie of enclosed patios. In contrast, interiors are fully glazed, opening up to the privacy of the patios, courtyard and distant views; blurring inside and outside.
