This mountainous vacation house outside the village of Spilia, seeks to tactically integrate to its context in multiple ways. Firstly, in formal terms, it is carefully attuned to the terrain\u2019s dramatic topography, by reversing the conventional domestic sectional articulation \u2013 as the public road (and, hence, the parking space) is on top, which leads below to the main living quarters, which are themselves above the bedrooms.<\/p>\n
Secondly, and because of the preceding, it frames panoramic views of the site\u2019s breathtaking natural setting from almost all primary spaces. Thirdly, the project is closely coordinated with the site\u2019s key geomorphological features \u2013 especially some giant rocks \u2013 in a manner akin to Oscar Niemeyer\u2019s Casa das Canoas.<\/p>\n
Finally, the project seeks to exploit its high-altitude woodland milieu \u2013 both in terms of climatological conditions, and in terms of its remoteness. Being a holiday home for all the seasons, it strives to be operative as a tranquil retreat both during the occasional snowfall in winter, and in the summer\u2019s intense sunlight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
