A summer residence was conceived as a relatively simple building with a distinctive character of its own. The intention was to activate every part of the plot and create a space where there is always another direction to explore.
Positioned at the centre of the site, the house follows the natural slope of the terrain and opens towards its surroundings on all sides. Interior and exterior zones develop in parallel, creating different routes, places to pause, and relationships with the landscape. The bedrooms are designed around three distinct themes, each with its own atmosphere. The concept began with the idea of a holiday shaped by socialising, enjoyment, and a sense of freedom among friends. This atmosphere directly informed the spatial and volumetric decisions of the house. Architecture and interior were therefore developed simultaneously—volumes alongside atmospheres, and interior spaces in constant dialogue with the outdoors.
