The client brief for this residence was clear from the outset of the project. A house that explores the boundaries between the interior and the landscape, or the relationship between nature and living spaces. The conceptual strategy to achieve this is to split the public from the private zones and juxtapose them with a sequence of landscape elements that flow organically through the building volumes. These two distinct zones are split by the protruding volume of the office space that defines the entry. The visual journey starts from the front facade, which frames a small tree garden, while along with the oblique volume of an office space guide the user towards the main entrance. Subsequently, upon entering the house, the user is met with a hall facing a central open atrium, visible from all the parts of the house. Finally, the atrium leads to a secluded olive garden at the back of the house.
