A rebirth project: three villas surrounded by Mediterranean nature
The project for the construction of three villas was born as an extraordinary opportunity for urban and landscape regeneration: an intervention aimed at restoring life, beauty and value to a long abandoned lot.
Through careful and environmentally friendly planning, the intervention aims to transform a neglected area into a small residential oasis, where architecture, nature and quality of living coexist in harmony. The villas will be designed with a contemporary architectural language that dialogues with local tradition: clean volumes, bright facades, natural materials and details that recall the Mediterranean style.
Large openings, panoramic terraces and outdoor spaces will allow for maximum use of natural light and enjoyment of the surrounding landscape.
A central role will be given to the landscape: the land, now uncultivated, will be regenerated through the inclusion of gardens, interior courtyards and green spaces designed to foster a relationship with nature. Native vegetation will be enhanced and reintegrated, with special attention to the recovery of existing olive trees, which will help define the identity of the place.
The project integrates solutions geared toward environmental sustainability: solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems and low-impact construction techniques will help reduce energy consumption and improve living comfort.
Inserted in a context of scattered housing, the three villas will dialogue with the landscape and the existing urban fabric, respecting the morphological and cultural characteristics of the area.
This intervention represents not only a building rehabilitation, but a broader vision of rebirth: a place coming back to life, able to welcome new families in a sustainable, serene environment deeply rooted in the Mediterranean context.
Villa 1 – Essential elegance and harmony with the landscape
Situated in the northern portion of the lot, Villa 1 stands on a large area of land accessible by a private driveway made of draining material, which opens onto the main road. The building, with a rectangular plan, is entirely above ground, with an earth-colored flat roof that extends in overhang to form a porch, providing natural shading to the interior spaces.
The elevations, characterized by white plastered surfaces, are punctuated by large windows that allow generous natural lighting and a continuous dialogue with the landscape. The horizontally sliding, anthracite-colored exterior shutters provide protection and privacy while emphasizing the building’s minimalist aesthetic.
The entire villa is designed to fit discreetly and respectfully into the natural surroundings. Impact on the land will be minimized by limiting excavation and following the existing orography. Particular attention is paid to the enhancement of the terracing, with local stone walls in horizontal courses, and the new planting of native essences, including the existing olive trees.
Even the boundary elements, such as parapets, will be made with hedges of adequate height, designed to mitigate the visual perception of the intervention. Completing the project is an in-ground concrete swimming pool covered with sand-colored cloth, positioned on the east side and not visible from the ground, to maintain the perception of the landscape.
