The main idea for this beautiful villa project was to create a peaceful, luxury, modern and bright environment, where each space is cozy and tranquil. The rooms are very airy and full of light all day long, while once the sun goes down, each area gets its relaxing and romantic feel.

The contemporary language and materials, especially the volumes of white lacquered plates and large glass spans, clearly marked the enlargement, differentiated from the original house.
