The Hill House

By integrating the home with the terrain and handling the details to enhance environmental appreciation, this carefully positioned and developed design gains an outdoor treatment in a challenging location. From the beginning it was important for our studio to design a villa that had to be contextualized so that the house would be stretched out and placed inside the location.

The project was influenced by the countless coastal villas that can be found on the Ulcinj coastline. "The Hill House" was simplified to pure geometric shapes and then manipulated and modernized to take advantage of the sea views. The Hill House defines an urban front and height in order to benefit from sea view.

The selection of materials, which also includes native stone, provides the home with a special character that will withstand stand time. The white, clean and typical Mediterranean windows contribute to a relaxed and bold aesthetic similar to the context structures. The Hill House is designed with careful attention to its orientation in order to maximize the light entrance and at the same time obstruct it considering the climate of the location. It is recommended that the materials are maintained with seasonal cleaning and special attention is shown to the native stone used, although they are suitable for exterior use.
