Poetic Placemaking

Offering an idyllic retreat that balances luxury with introspection, this residence is a space where every detail tells a story of thoughtful design and timeless elegance. The architectural plan follows the natural curves of the hillside, creating a dynamic interplay between the villa and its environment. Outdoor alcoves and shaded patios offer refuge from the sun and are furnished with Milos sofas and Crono Outdoor armchairs, providing serene spots for contemplation or socialising. A fountain, almost hidden by dense foliage, adds a soothing layer of sound, echoing the philosophy of Mexican architect Luis Barragán, whose work inspired the home’s design.

 The Mediterranean panorama unfolds around the pool, where vegetation provides natural privacy. Minimalist furnishings, including daybeds and an Alcamo side table by Antonio Citterio, transform the area into an oasis of relaxation. Covered walkways connect different parts of the home, offering secluded nooks with armchairs, ideal for reading or simply absorbing the breathtaking views.

 Inside, the villa reflects a harmonious balance of comfort and sophistication. The living room features the iconic Groundpiece sofa, paired with coffee tables from the Fly and Kobo series. The dining room, a true focal point is framed by expansive windows that open onto the distant horizon. The furnishings, blend effortlessly with the earth-toned palette and natural textures.  Each room is designed to offer a unique experience. The bedrooms are tranquil sanctuaries, with walls wrapped in warm earth tones, transforming them into havens of peace. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape, inviting light and nature into every corner of the home. The villa’s design fosters a deeper connection with its surroundings, offering spaces for both shared experiences and private reflection. Shaded patios, furnished with armchairs and sofas in terracotta-toned aluminium, echo the hues of the landscape. The careful interplay of light and shadow is created through strategically placed openings and walkways; a place where the rhythm of life finds its most harmonious expression, just like poetry.
