Domus Argentum. Architectural drawings

Located on a beautiful promontory Monte Argentario that extends into the Tyrrhenian Sea, the site for this villa has not only various vantage points to enjoy panoramic views but also offers a unique combination of Mediterranean floras’ natural beauty. This place, with a slight slope towards the sea, is overgrown with plants such as olive trees, pine trees, cypresses, and aromatic herbs like rosemary and thyme. There were a couple of small rundown huts located about midway down the property that are intended for demolition. These remains are to be replaced by a new villa building, which, out of functional necessity and as a reminder of the morphology of the previous spatial composition, also consists of two volumes. Places where former houses used to be are turned into empty courtyards in each villa volume. The empty courtyards are enclosed by thick, massive stone walls.
