our villa

we were assigned to do "the house for dr barthomomeusz" designed by geoffry bawa

the villa has a great focus on the environment surrounding it. bawa creates spaces throughout the villa to create an illusion that the garden is separate to the structure even though it is bounded by the thick exterior walls. the placement of the pool within the middle of the villa and the perservation of trees also shows proof of the sense bawa aimed for the environment to be the focus of his architecture. the use of simple geometries for the building also shows proof for this. all in all, i believe the environment was the focal point of bawa's design of his piece.
