STRICKING DESIGN AND NATURAL BEAUTY
On the hills of southern Portugal, near the village of Praia da Luz, the Villa Escarpa floats, facing the ocean. Built over a space previously occupied by another building, this wonder of contemporary purity had to deal with natural constraints such as a steep slope and strong winds, hence the straight and horizontal lines, and the transparent white.
The architect, Mario Martins, explains that Villa Escarpa lies on a concrete base that gives the impression the house is lightly floating above the hills, ensuring a minimized impact on the environment and a certain visual efficiency.
In this impressive location, the Forma collection stands out for its remarkable beauty of shapes.
