Ascending to Paradise

The project represents a patio house that seamlessly integrates with the topography of the land. The design embodies two primary concepts: firstly, the idea of a patio house that has its roots in the Mediterranean architectural heritage, and secondly, the unobtrusive adaptation of the structure to the natural topography.

The second aspect of the design philosophy is the utilization of simple geometry to optimize the relationship between the house and its sloping plot. By capitalizing on the natural slope, the dwelling becomes embedded within the earth, creating a cohesive and unassuming presence.
The design lies on a commitment to simplicity and clean lines, with a focus on geometric precision. The deliberate use of minimalistic elements ensures that the house harmoniously blends with the landscape, allowing nature to take center stage. This restrained aesthetic aims to create an atmosphere of serene beauty, reminiscent of the idyllic surroundings of the Garden of Eden.
The incorporation of different spiral levels within the design serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it symbolizes a spiritual ascent, elevating the inhabitant’s experience to higher levels of consciousness and enlightenment. Each level offers a distinct vantage point, enabling the appreciation of the surrounding natural beauty from various perspectives. This sense of vertical movement fosters a deeper connection between the architecture and its inhabitants, as well as with the Garden of Eden metaphor.
With the focus on geometry and spiraling forms, the design also seeks to captivate the senses of texture and character. The materials chosen are carefully selected to age gracefully and develop a rich patina over time, imbuing the house with a sense of history and depth. The juxtaposition of sleek geometric lines with these textured materials creates a visually captivating interplay, evoking a feeling of timelessness and rootedness.
The architectural vision endeavors to create a unique atmosphere within the patio house, one that transports occupants to a realm evocative of the Garden of Eden. It aspires to be a sanctuary of tranquility and harmony, where the interplay of geometric forms, spiral levels, and textured materials intertwines to foster a deep connection with nature and the passage of time.
