Across architectural projects, their solution protects the house from prevailing north winds that hammer the spot. It does so without distorting the natural landscaping or obstructing the panoramic views that the property enjoys. Paired with a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic that echoes the island’s coarse beauty. The house is both a Zen hideaway and sophisticated summer retreat.

The house is a Zen hideaway

The house is a Zen hideaway, the house unfolds on three levels with the private quarters on top. The communal areas in the middle and the guest rooms on the lower level. Fully embedded into the cliffside, the building’s wedge-shaped volume exactly matches the slope of the terrain. As a result, the terraced configuration ensures unobstructed views from all floors. Lead architect and practice founder applied a three-dimensional rectangular grid. Designing the house as a “chessboard” composition of solids and voids.

Firmly Anchor the house Into the Cliffside

Firmly anchor the house into the Cliffside ─ Combination with planted roof sections, the dry-stone walls also enable the house to harmoniously blend in with the natural surroundings. As well as guide the gaze down the slope towards the sea. In contrast, the sea-facing sections of the building are completely glazed in order to maximize views and natural lighting. As well as connect the interior spaces with the adjoining terraces. To ensure that natural lighting reaches the back of the building, added light wells that also function as planted courtyards.

Underpinned by a minimalist aesthetic of clean lines and sparse furnishingsBold in Conception and Rich in detail yet humble in spirit as is the Case of Holiday house NCAVED. The interior design is inspired by the house’s subterranean nature. Featuring a subdued palette of earthy colours, coarse textures and natural materials such as stone, exposed concrete and metal]. Timber accents add warmth. While the use of perforated and reflective surfaces animate the spaces with an ever-shifting play of light and shadow.

Sequence of Spaces

Sequence of Spaces ─ An external staircase connecting all three levels is designed as a ceremonial passage slowly revealing a sequence of spaces. While framing vertiginous views of the sea as you descend and gradually expanding views of the sky as you ascend. In fact, every space is design to frame different views, from panoramic islands vistas. In the open-plan living and dining room, to cropped views of the sea and sky from the bedrooms.
A house that does not burden the natural landscape with its physical presence, sustainability was a key aspect its design. Natural ventilation and thermal mass facilitate passive cooling. Energy-efficient glazing while adequate insulation minimize energy demands, and collected wastewater and rainwater is used for irrigation. These, it’s fair to say that the house is firmly embedded both in the ground and into its natural surroundings.
