A central bedroom sits quietly in the middle, positioned to look through, never missing the view, yet always sheltered. A traditional first-floor volume with pitched roofs rests atop a more sculpted base, where the building’s footprint undulates, leading to a grand double-volume entrance.

Through it, the courtyard comes into full view, and the home expands into generous living and entertainment spaces that blur the boundaries between inside and out. Every detail is intentional. The home’s sculptural interior unfolds within a confined shell, guided by an undulating stone wall - a tactile, grounding element that also defines privacy. The structure balances organic forms with rectangular geometry, with organic cut-outs carving light, air, and movement into the layout. Here, indoor and outdoor living merge seamlessly - glass barriers maximize the experience of outdoor entertaining, while glass-bound courtyards pull in the sun and let nature be part of every space.
