VILLA V. IS HOMAGE TO THE ‘WHITE CITY’ ARCHITECTURE OF TEL AVIV; SIMPLE MASSING AND A RICH PLAY OF SUN AND SHADE WHICH EMBRACES THE MEDITERRANEAN BREEZE.
IT IS A HOME RATHER THAN A HOUSE, A PLACE FOR LIVING WHERE MEMORIES ARE MADE AND LIFE IS CELEBRATED WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
AN L SHAPE LAYOUT CONFIGURATION HOLDS MOST OF ITS SOCIAL PROGRAMS WHILE THE MASTER BEDROOM IS DESIGNED AS A HOME AWAY FROM HOME, CONNECTED BY A BRIDGE TO THE “MAIN-LAND”, SELF- SUSTAINED WITH ITS OWN GARDEN AND POOL.
THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE HOUSE FOLLOWS THE SAME L SHAPE AND HOLDS THE BEDROOM SUITES OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ENJOY AN INTIMATE INNER COURTYARD OPEN TO THE SKY. CROSSED OVER BY WHAT ONLY APPEARS AS A SPANNING MIRROR; THE OWNER’S BRIDGE BOTTOM IS IN POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL WHICH DILUTES COMPLETELY THE PRESENCE OF WEIGHT CROSSING THE COURTYARD, AND ADDS A FANTASTIC REALM OF IMAGERIES TO THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES.
