The villa’s double-high living rooms are created to resemble an elegant ‘glass box’ overlooking the lush tropical garden, while a gallant marble wall becomes the focal point of the property’s entire space.

The optimization of the position with the solar study and the use of large veetation to shutter the sun during different period.
