About the Project:
This project focuses on relating large scale objects, such as a building, to human scale. A personal module based on individual height was assigned. My specific modular unit is 5’-4” or 64”. While designing this space it became evident that the stairs are a focal point. For this reason, the villa translates itself into a journey. The intent and feeling of this villa is meant to have a welcoming presence and make one realize its’ expansiveness through height of rooms. The openings bring in unique shadows, playing with light and dark, to give a lively feel.
