About House in the Hills
A Dream Second Home Amidst Nature
The owners envisioned their second home nestled among the rolling hills and lush nature. This project gracefully integrates into the landscape with its simple and linear structure.
Panoramic Views Meet Modern Design
A striking 12-meter (about 39 feet) wide glass facade takes center stage, with a pool just steps away. This setup offers a panoramic view of the surrounding nature and the city’s night lights, creating a spectacle of twinkling lights.
Open Space Living: A Harmony of Light and Nature
From the elevated entrance, one steps into a spacious open area that houses both a relaxation zone and a kitchen, marked by a 3-meter (nearly 10 feet) island. Natural light floods both areas, enhancing the connection with the outdoors. A protected porch, shaded by a bioclimatic pergola, runs the length of the house, further blurring the lines between inside and out.
Eastward Expansion: Sunrise to Sunset
The villa extends eastward, from the living spaces to the sleeping quarters, offering stunning sunrise views that enhance morning awakenings and breakfasts.
Creating Intimacy with Interior Design
The interior design aims to foster a cozy and intimate atmosphere, making every moment inside this home feel enveloped in warmth and comfort.
