How to frame nature?
We aim to put nature at the centre of the design by emphasizing the unique quality of the site. We do this by framing the vista, and designing the facades to provide the internal spaces with the best opportunity to display the context. We also raise the volumes from the ground and explore the impact of floating the mass at the top of the mountain. This helps to further the idea of the villas perching atop the mountain, living at the true pinnacle of the area.
