This magnificent Mediterranean villa showcases impeccable execution of classical architectural techniques with a contemporary interpretation. The facade is entirely clad in natural sandstone of a warm golden-beige hue, creating a sense of solidity and substantiality in the structure. The stonework is executed with the highest craftsmanship, with carefully selected and laid blocks of varying sizes, giving the facade textural depth and authenticity.
The architectural composition of the facade is characterized by harmonious asymmetry and multi-level design. Arched windows with dark frames create a striking contrast against the stone wall and provide abundant natural light to the interior spaces. Particularly expressive are the large semi-circular windows that emphasize the Mediterranean style of the building and open up to magnificent views of the surrounding landscape.
The terracotta-toned tiled roof with characteristic curves and height variations elegantly crowns the structure, adding a traditional Southern European aesthetic. Note the artfully integrated entrance group with an expressive stone staircase and thoughtful details such as built-in planters and the recessed garage with wooden doors seamlessly incorporated into the stonework.
For your own home, several techniques can be borrowed from this project: combining different textures of natural stone to create visual interest; using arched elements to soften strict lines; integrating greenery directly into the facade architecture; and applying contrasting materials (stone, wood, glass) to achieve a balance between tradition and modernity.
