Olive trees villa

Project Info

Sitting on top of the hill above Barbati beach in Corfu, the villa looks straight out to the sea. The 3-bedroom holiday house was designed for a young couple. The aim was to merge contemporary architecture with nature and blend the building in its natural context. The restricted site boundary and the site’s inclination were the driving forces for the volumetric development of the building. By setting back the upper floor in respect to the ground floor, following the morphology of the site, the overall mass of the building is phenomenally reduced and a green roof is introduced. Immersed in its natural habitat. The building is composed by an open plan living room- kitchen- dining room area, 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a small gym. The front facade is completely glazed to take advantage of the great view towards the sea. The primary focus of the project was to combine elements, materials and textures which would create an elegant and functional space in harmony with its context. The materials and color palette were chosen in order to give to the space the feeling of warmth and comfort. Stone, wood, fabrics and metal smoothly blend together.
