Winged Villa
Winged Villa explores the possibility of freeing a house beyond its size by expanding a single footprint to include both outer and inner spaces. Instead of one continuous volume, the home is conceived as a series of wings arranged around a central living space.

Winged Villa
From this core, distinct rooms extend like cardinal points, shaping courtyards, gardens and views. In this way, its size is freed from the area it covers, which means that even a small house can qualify a much larger site.
Lifting the main structure lightly above the ground preserves the natural terrain and vegetation while opening long, elevated perspectives across the site. The combination of glass and concrete walls create the illusion of a floating structure, that there is very little holding it’s components off the ground.
Winged Villa embodies duality. It is rational yet sensitive, heavy in structure yet visually light, protective yet open to the landscape, with outside entering the house providing a feeling of connectivity with nature. Its modular strategy creates clarity and spatial generosity at any scale, while its poised balance of weight and transparency gives the home both permanence and transience.
