A Flowing Space
The plot of land for this villa is located on an internal street in the front and facing a major highway in the back with very generous setbacks on both sides. The design concept was to create a flow through the house, while at the same time maintaining privacy by using light versus heavy materials and limited views to spaces beyond without revealing what they are.
