The image showcases an outstanding example of modernist architecture with a maritime aesthetic. The snow-white facade of the villa with its streamlined forms and characteristic rounded elements evokes associations with a ship or yacht, emphasized by horizontal lines and protruding terraces. The building has a distinctive stepped structure with three levels, each equipped with spacious open terraces with metal railings.
The architectural composition of the facade is built on the contrast between straight and curved lines. Particularly noteworthy are the cylindrical elements on the right side of the building, which add dynamism to the entire structure. Large panoramic windows ensure maximum penetration of natural light and create a visual connection with the surrounding landscape. The canopies above the terraces create an interplay of light and shadow on the white surfaces of the facade.
The villa is harmoniously integrated into the terrain using stone retaining walls that form a terraced garden with exotic plants. The pool at the base of the villa reflects the facade and sky, creating an additional dimension in the perception of the architecture. The combination of the white facade, natural stone retaining walls, and blue pool water creates a harmonious Mediterranean palette.
For designing your own facade, several techniques can be borrowed: using the contrast of straight and curved lines, playing with volumes, creating protruding elements to form interesting shadows, applying white color to emphasize architectural forms, and integrating the building into the landscape through site terracing.
