Limelight Villa
Featured Project

Limelight Villa

Nestled within a wooded setting and carefully integrated into the surrounding mountainous landscape, this single-storey detached house is characterised by a cross-shaped floor plan created by the intersection of two volumes: one extending horizontally and the other more compact, featuring a steeply pitched roof that offers a contemporary interpretation of traditional church architecture. The house blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings, enhancing the relationship between architecture and landscape. At the heart of the design lies a spacious open-plan area combining the living room, dining room and kitchen, whilst the side wings house the private bedrooms and a guest suite. The large openings, featuring concealed sliding systems, allow for a complete integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, reinforcing the sense of continuity with the surrounding nature. The client requested a residence that would be deeply integrated into the natural setting, capable of combining openness to the landscape with the protection of privacy in the most intimate spaces. Particular attention was paid to creating a bespoke design that would enhance the dialogue between architecture and nature through fluid and flexible spaces, as well as through solutions that would eliminate the perceived separation between interior and exterior. In terms of materials, a understated and refined palette was favoured, comprising local stones alongside selected materials such as black volcanic stone, Patagonian stone and woods with warm tones, including walnut, cedar and monkey pod, with the aim of giving the interiors an authentic, welcoming character rooted in the local environment.

The aim was to create a fluid and continuous dialogue between the interior and exterior spaces, fostering a constant connection with the surrounding landscape and nature. The design emphasises a concept of understated luxury and discreet elegance, in which every element is carefully considered to contribute to the overall harmony of the spaces. Materials, finishes and construction details draw on the local context and reinterpret its identity in a contemporary key, whilst celebrating the authenticity of its traditions.

Dom Swobodny Villa

Dom Swobodny Villa

The Dom Swobodny project is located in a green setting, surrounded by nature in the village of Toruń, Poland. The idea of a free-form house stems from the desire to shape the outdoor experience in harmony with the lifestyle, climate and needs of those who live there . The house has sliding walls, positioned both on the side facing the lake and on the west-facing veranda, which allow the living and dining areas to be transformed into covered extensions of the terrace, creating a continuous dialogue between inside and outside. Each wall can be closed individually, offering a flexible configuration of the rooms in response to wind, cold or the need for privacy. The clients wanted a space that would adapt perfectly to their lifestyle and respond simply and efficiently to their needs . The apartment is extremely bright, thanks to the large windows and the choice of light-coloured wood materials and surfaces, which blend in with the natural environment outside.
