The client, a politician, wished to build a holiday villa, with separate accommodation for parents, children and guests on a steep site.

The design went through three iterations, finishing up with a layout which looks as if it loosely tumbles down the slope. However, this is firmly held together by a grid of walls running North/South, allowing for a very simple set of roofs, spanning between them.

Each section has access to a terrace with views to the South. On the East side is the solar heated swimming pool and access is from the bottom of the slope.

Materials are traditional for the area, with Roman tiles, rendered walls and exposed timbers.
