DESIGN CONCEPT
Situated in a protected valley, on a subtle slope between two hills, the site directs views westwards to the sunset and the sea. The house has been conceived as a spiral, rotating around a courtyard framing the west sea view, with the swimming pool ‘sliding’ under the upper part of the spiral which ends on a dramatic cantilever.
