This private residence is set on a steep hillside in Baakline, where the topography directly informs both the landscape and architectural strategy. The design maximizes the site’s natural gradient to create a series of stepped outdoor spaces, fostering continuous visual and physical interaction between the house and its surroundings.

​​​

The landscape is conceived as an amphitheater, organizing the garden into layered terraces that accommodate a range of functions—from dining and barbecue areas adjacent to the kitchen, to a swimming pool and jacuzzi, as well as multiple seating and play zones distributed across the slope. This configuration creates a dynamic outdoor environment while ensuring clear spatial hierarchy and usability.

​​​

This concept extends into the architecture itself, where the ground floor is articulated through split levels that define functional zones while maintaining visual continuity. The villa is composed of three pitched-roof volumes clad in stone and wood, responding to local building regulations and reinforcing a contextual architectural language. The interstitial spaces between these volumes are treated as light, transparent connectors—fully glazed and integrated with stepped internal walkways—linking the entrance, reception, and dining areas, and opening seamlessly onto the landscaped terraces.
