villa is about desire, – what we want and what we really need.

Its spatial distribution is the consequence of a specific given program; this program is divided into 5 houses that work as separated elements. The “need” program below ground reacts to the shy introverted traditional house, its articulated through the “want” program above ground and it shows the house as the desire object.

perspective 05

The program is positioned in a progressive manner interrupted by patios and gardens in between activities. The 5 houses are divided by use in the following order: Workers, Guests, Family, Parents and Kids.
