🦀 A complex of three villas on a sloped plot of land near the sea on a tropical island.
That was what we had to design. The task was challenging!
• The sloped land and large houses required careful planning.
• Ensuring sea views from all villas and pools was essential.
• Building restrictions included height limits, setback distances from the sea, and plot borders.
• We had to coordinate with neighbours on a shared road, making our projects co-dependent, and consider the path for their sea access.
• We had to use local materials and building techniques, which are limited on the small island.
• And we definitely wanted and needed to preserve large trees on the beach.
But we did it!
All three houses are situated along one axis and are being built now.
• The main villa, located closest to the sea, features 4 bedrooms and is limited to 150 sqm.
• It is designed to function in conjunction with a guest house.
• The two back villas are two-story structures with 5 bedrooms each, intended for long-term rental or sale. They are designed to be almost identical to reduce costs.
