A small seaside summer residence, the project was conceived as an exercise in purist minimalism, with a clearly defined open plan for the interior space creating an extension and visual depth between indoors and outdoors via a transparent picture window-wall, and relating the whole to the Mediterranean. Horizontality is enhanced by a catwalk passage spanning an interior double volume, which becomes a cantilevering lookout-balcony resembling a jump board. This is the most powerful visual element passing through the transparent wall and protruding out of the prism, defying boundaries.

 Unlike Mediterranean architecture, however, where white would be the dominant color and plasticity of shapes would create competing nuances of shades and shadows; this house adopts an alternative approach. It succeeds, rather, in fusing different, unlikely aesthetic tendencies and creating harmony; a sensitivity towards materials, as expressed in an almost organic reinterpretation of architectural rudiments, combined with a high-tech, state of the art assemblage of details, and a traditional, rationalist approach to design, end up in a combination where setting, landscape and dwelling create a dramatic, albeit quasi platonic ambiance, almost a stage-set where the residents and their guests would be actors playing their respective roles overlooking the background of palm trees, garden, sea, horizon and sky.
