A compact study in spatial efficiency, where climate, regulation, and precision-driven design transform limitation into architectural clarity.
The brief
Villa Viona is a compact private residence of 85 m², designed in direct response to site conditions, climate, spatial efficiency, and urban planning regulations. The program accommodates two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living area, carefully organized to maximize openness and comfort within a highly limited footprint. The architectural massing and orientation are shaped by environmental constraints and strict compliance with local planning regulations, including limitations on footprint, height, and building volume. A clear environmental strategy defines the design logic. Due to heavy rainfall conditions from the eastern side of the site, the eastern façade is intentionally designed without openings to reduce exposure to adverse weather. All other openings are strategically oriented to optimize daylight, natural ventilation, and indoor environmental comfort. Landscape planning introduces a subtle continuous slope across the site, directing surface water away from the villa to prevent accumulation and ensure long-term drainage efficiency.
Scope of Work
Architectural design development, spatial planning, and environmental strategy for an 85 m² private villa.
The scope includes compact program organization, façade orientation studies, climate-responsive design solutions, and integration of drainage-driven landscape design aligned with site conditions and regulatory constraints.
A restrained material palette supports the villa’s compact architectural expression, emphasizing clarity, functionality, and environmental responsiveness.
Controlled openings, solid surfaces, and carefully positioned glazing create a balanced relationship between enclosure and light. The result is a compact yet open living environment where spatial efficiency and environmental performance define the architectural atmosphere.
