Design Brief

Contemporary and easy living

This villa is a contemporary design which draws on the heritage of the area which is dominated by a rural culture. The villa is surrounded by pine trees and the architectural design draws on these setting to ensure that the villa blends in with its environment while providing a sense of prestige and gravitas.

The site in question is a large block on the in a very prestigious part of town which is neither rural nor suburban. To respect this context, the design needed to be contemporary yet with strong references to a country or traditional white stone design.

The brief was to design a large, flexible family home on a 2 acre (2 doloms) sloping site. The home needed to be able to operate in two distinct ways: as a luxurious yet functional home for a couple approaching retirement, as well as a place that could accommodate the extended multi-generational family that will either live with or visit the owners.

External Design Inspiration

ike a beautiful pearl emerges from its shell, our designed was inspired to reflect the magnificence visually delicacy and robustness of pearls.

To achieve these results we used globally sought after materials that are locally source such as white stone from the hills of Hebron and rare beirzet bluestone. We were able to combine these materials to create prominent lines and visual features to create a visually delicate yet magnificent piece of 3D art.

The final external design invites spectators to wonder what beauties are contained within the shell.
