VILLA BEHM

This family house in a sloped landscape overlooking the sea from various angles takes the form of two distinct volumes,

stacked one above the other.

Where the lower volume is visually anchored in the landscape,
the cantilevered upper story appears to float. This impression is reinforced by the different material treatments of each, which contrasts the solidity of the darker base with the lighter rhythms of vertical timber panels. The house’s structural configuration increases space on the upper level and gives the ground floor a closed character in terms both of its layout and of the relationship between interior and exterior areas.
