Inside the representative, two-winged structure lies a private atrium with a large tree. The atrium is fully glazed, creating a harmonious connection between the interior and exterior, while filling the villa with natural light. It serves as the central point of the house, adjacent to the internal circulation, the living room, and the light, self-supporting stairs leading to the upper floor.

The building's shape, designed in the form of the letter "U," creates a private, sheltered enclave from the garden side. The project is a contemporary interpretation of farmstead architecture, with the layout divided into four distinct functional zones: the living area, guest area, fitness/spa area, and technical section.

Due to the client's requirements, the building features large glazing that offers expansive views of the greenery from the garden side, while maintaining a minimalist and enclosed appearance from the access road side.

The buildings were positioned on micropiles to preserve the existing trees as much as possible. The function of the houses was reversed: the ground floor mainly consists of a staircase with an elevator and utility rooms. The two upper floors are designed as living spaces, offering sea views and featuring a rooftop terrace.

The layout is simple: four rectangular volumes, two arranged in an "L" shape, the third is the swimming pool, and the fourth forms the first floor above the longer arm. The exterior of the house has minimal glazing, which helps protect the owners' privacy. In contrast, the facades facing the intimate garden-courtyard, formed by the two arms of the "L," are fully glazed. These spaces are inaccessible to prying eyes. A standout feature of the design is the concrete façade, which is a key architectural element highlighting the building's mass and form, resembling a curtain. The soft shape of the concrete walls flows smoothly like a ribbon throughout the building and connects with the flowing curtains on the windows of the ground floor.

The house is characterized by a clear separation of the day, night, guest, and technical zones, allowing them to function as independent areas. The villa is divided into volumes of varying heights that seamlessly interconnect with each other.
