Villa “Hibiscus” in Sardinia
A house with soft lines in balance with the surrounding rocks that seem to welcome living comfort in primal nature
Celebrating the Strength of Nature
The client desired a house deeply connected to its location with a clear directive: “no edges, no right angles, a warm and enveloping home!” Embracing this vision, I utilized local materials, crafting with wire and lime reinforcement to form new morphologies. It was like being an architect-sculptor, with an inner energy infusing the materials, bringing the design to life in a fluid, organic way. Windows as skillful telescopes to create a continuous dialogue with the surrounding nature. And the strictly hand-woven fabrics, with linen and cashmere to give a timeless lightness and sophistication. The result is a space that feels both intimately connected to its environment and uniquely welcoming.
Every detail was thought out and built for this house, such as the bronze castings embedded within the powder-pink frisé maple door panels.
