A private commission from a young couple who chose a difficult plot on a hill with a 42-degree slope, facing the Mediterranean Sea. The task was to integrate the house into the landscape around it and to turn every living space towards the sea, with an extremely tight budget, a complex site and ambitious ideas from both client and architect.
The form of the house and its metallic roof create a calculated ambiguity between the natural and the artificial: the skin of a dragon set into the ground when seen from below, the waves of the sea when seen from above.
The house was featured in the Netflix and BBC series The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes.
