Emerald Villa
Ongoing Project, Architecture
This residence project embraces simplicity and a deep connection to its natural surroundings. Designed for a couple who values a grounded lifestyle, the home is crafted with humble, locally sourced materials that blend seamlessly with the environment. The earthy tones of brick, natural stone, and timber create a warm, inviting atmosphere, ensuring the house feels like an extension of the landscape rather than a separate entity.
The layout focuses on maximizing cross ventilation and natural daylight, allowing fresh air and sunlight to flow freely throughout the spaces. Large windows and strategically placed openings ensure the house stays naturally cool, reducing the need for artificial cooling and keeping energy consumption minimal. Every room feels light, airy, and constantly connected to the outdoors, offering views of the surrounding greenery from nearly every angle.
