The villa was divided into 3 volumes separated by a central one embracing the vertical circulation

axis leading from the entrance of the site towards the villa. The other volumes are inspired by the
shape of the surrounding valleys peeling from the ground overlooking the amazing view in an

glass façade leading towards the outdoor seating area blending the interior and exterior spaces.

daily buzz of the city.
