This summer house for a private client is imbedded in the rock of a sloping terrain overseeing the grand landscape and the sea facing north east. The section follows the sites geography and has a clear division in two parts. A base consists of an indoor pool and spa area with large openings connecting inside and outside. On top, but shifted, lays a two story wooden villa. To maintain the view towards the sea for neighbouring properties the volume is kept as low as possible. From most sides the project is perceived as a one-story villa. Only in section the size and volume becomes really clear.

​

The oversized, cantilevering pitched roof protects the wooden facade from the tough weather conditions and gives the upper volume a clear expression. The top floor contains rooms for social interaction, like the main kitchen and living room, organised around a centrally placed grand fire place. In plan there is a clear division between spaces for the family and guests.

All main rooms have access to a balcony that runs across the length of the facade facing the sea.

The middle floor consists of relaxing spaces, guest rooms, bathrooms and hobby rooms with direct connection to a large terrace, which is situated on the roof of the indoor pool below. A staircase, which is carved into the rock leads to a generous, but intimate spa area with a 20 meter pool. There is also a gym, sauna and relaxing area.
