Completion of a private villa with smooth edges with floating transfers inside,

ADEPT has designed a private villa of four rectangular volumes, merging together seamlessly,

on the edge between land and sea.

The private residence has an area of 180 square meters and has been specially designed for the unique location,

using nature’s own colors and soft transitions between the interior spaces.

As well as between the interior and the exterior,

making the daily changes of the sea an integral part of the architecture’s DNA.

The villa was completed for a private client, with the opportunity to build near the edge of the sea;

the client had a vision of a simple life in beautiful spaces.

He makes the magnificent view an integral part of everyday life in his home,

and the result is as unique as the location: a villa designed in four basic volumes with floating transitions.

The villa appears quiet and closed, facing the street, the initial volumes are only broken by the protruding entrance door.

Towards the sea and the garden, there is a small courtyard with an open and transparent façade with long views across several rooms towards the sea.

The villa has been designed with a unique location as one of the main sources of inspiration,

and to live in this house is an ever-changing expiration of nature as the building surrounds itself with the sea and the sky.

As all materials are kept in natural colours, the sand-colored Columba tiles,

together with the strong oak wood that frames the windows, give solidity to the villa, humbly adapting it to the exposed site.

Curved white walls and wide wood floors melt the interior spaces together.
