这位客户是一位来自硅谷的成功创业者，他很容易接受富有挑战性和开箱即用的想法，从而创建了一个现代化的功能性设施。
The customer, a successful startup owner from Silicon Valley, easily went along with challenging and out of the box ideas, which led to the creation of a modern and functional facility.
我们面临的第一个挑战是别墅的位置。考虑到施工计划在12米的斜坡上进行，有必要为居民创造一个方便的进入领土的通道。从结构上看，这座房子由三层组成：上层有一个可容纳4辆车的车库，中间一层有入口，下层有一个屋顶上的休息室。
The first challenge for us was the location of the villa. Given that the construction was planned on a slope with 12 meters difference, it was necessary to create a convenient entry to the territory for residents. Structurally, the house consists of three tiers: the upper one, with a garage for 4 cars, the middle one with the entry, and the lower one, with a lounge area on the roof.
别墅的设计考虑到了周围地区的所有细节。这座建筑以这样一种方式刻在景观中，它保护了这里生长的树木，为了节约能源，在车库的屋顶上安装了太阳能电池板。此外，由于采用了分层结构，这座建筑并不会妨碍邻近别墅的居民欣赏海湾美景。
The villa was designed taking into account all the specifics of the surrounding area. The building is inscribed in the landscape in such a way that it preserves the trees growing here, and in order to be energy efficient, solar panels were installed on the roof of the garage. In addition, thanks to the tiered construction, the building does not prevent residents of neighboring villas from enjoying stunning views of the bay.
立面简单的几何结构完美地融入了不寻常的层次安排，现代材料的使用使建筑在视觉上变得轻盈，仍然坚固而厚重。别墅内有很多空间：四个卧室、一个客厅、一个私人办公室、一个酒水室、一个厨房餐厅、一个健身房和一个电影院。中间层有游泳池和观景台，下层有烧烤或露天派对的休闲区。
The simple geometry of the facade ideally fits into the unusual arrangement of tiers, and the use of modern materials made the building visually light and still solid and massive. There is a lot of space inside the villa: four bedrooms, a living room, a personal office, a wine room, a kitchen-dining room, a gym and a cinema. On the middle tier there is a swimming pool and a viewing terrace, and on the lower tier there is a relaxation area for a barbecue or an open-air party.
由于玻璃幕墙，阳光可以自由地渗透到室内，提供了一整天的自然光。人体工程学和功能性内饰补充了总的想法：一切你需要没有任何装饰。设计师们使用柔和的色彩和最大限度地保留自由空间，创造了一个理想的放松场所，“远离”日常生活。
Due to glass facade the sun freely penetrates into the room providing a lot of natural light throughout the day. Ergonomic and functional interior complements the general idea: everything you need without any frills. Using soft colors and preserving the maximum free space, the designers created an ideal place for relaxation, “a get away” from daily routine.
