“Leaving us suspended between dream and reality, between landscape and time, between soul and feeling.” AF
“The island stretches out onto the sea creating shapes and inlets, all between the sand, the rocks and the sea. The body rises from its lying position creating the Mola: all that is horizontal quickly becomes vertical, and the sea becomes horizon, perspective, and merges with the sky.
The Villa is created from the section of this promontory and becomes a path that opens unique views towards the island, its sea, and its sky.
A system of open rooms where exterior and interior are connected, and where the intimate dimension of the individual rooms is found within a collective free path and continues in a system of descents towards the water without ever touching it, but suggesting a final vertical dive.
Leaving us suspended between dream and reality, between landscape and time, between soul and feeling.” AF
