The design idea comes from the will and the request of the clients to have a place where they can disconnect from everyday life obtaining an oasis of peace and relaxation. The concept therefore arises from the concept of creating a sense of continuity with the surrounding space through the openings, the swimming pool and the garden. We like to imagine the house as a solid mass from which ceiling and wall openings are made, creating an element of dynamic narration.
The project relates to the surrounding landscape through the openings and the terrace conceived as an area in which to admire the Sicilian coast which transforms itself at sunset. The sea, nature, greenery are the elements that inspired our project, a space for regeneration in which the value is not only linked to its architecture and function, but to a true oasis of peace, when nature mixes with architecture. The project was born from a careful analysis of the context. The project area is located near the Sicilian coasts in a resort area near the city of Syracuse.
The project was designed taking into account the aspects of sustainability. The objective of the research is the definition of a villa that respects some fundamental parameters:
Well-being and conviviality
Functionality and sustainable mobility
High environmental quality
Therefore, a new architectural language has been identified capable of integrating modern energy technologies, criteria for ventilation, sunshine and humidity in the spaces. In the design of the residence, the research led to: - identification of a modular cut in plan which allows to aggregate the individual units in a functional way; compliance with eco-sustainability objectives; - chromatic study of the elevations.
Our project is characterized by the limit between tradition and continuity and finds in this project a reason for strong compositional tension. The elements that are proposed in the architectural project can be said to be in continuity with that Sicilian reality that is still legible and recognizable today in the Mediterranean houses immersed alone in the landscape. The residential property is surrounded by a green space that becomes a common courtyard, a typological system recognizable through an urban morphology that takes on a highly social character. The use of stone in the basement and in the enclosure walls reinforces that long-lasting compositional reality, that material strength and linguistic heaviness which is typical of the Sicilian reality. Idea of having a material relationship between long-lasting materials and decidedly more modern materials, such as glass and iron that seem to demonstrate a continuous dialogue between modernity and tradition.

From the street, the building appears closed, the view towards the outside is filtered by a partition of wooden slats to create a "see-through" effect to give the owners the right amount of privacy.

The villa opens towards the garden, where the view is protected by greenery, making the large swimming pool an element also present in the interior spaces of the living area.

Projects that "dematerialise space" as in this case, creating very generous spaces for relationships. A large garden surrounds the house with several private courtyards, a large swimming pool connects the garden with the sun terrace, making everything.

The Villa develops on a single floor with a large living room, which includes the kitchen, dining room, a representative bathroom and the living area, and a private area for the bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. An external staircase leads to the area.
