Aerial exterior view of a white coastal villa with blue hip roofs
An aerial precedent of a coastal residential compound integrating white stucco volumes, blue metal roofs, and terraced boardwalk access down to a pristine beach.
- What we like about this project
- Scattered timber lounge platforms perched directly on the rugged coastal rocks below the main house.

- monolithic
- Geometry
- Low-slung orthogonal white volumes with stepped hipped roofs arranged symmetrically on a rocky coastal ridge overlooking the water.
- Facade system
- Smooth white rendered walls with large sliding glass door openings.
- Structural guess
- Concrete frame with masonry infill walls.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story residential villa compound scaled relative to a sprawling coastal site and wide beachfront.
- Lighting
- Bright direct overhead tropical daylight casting crisp, short shadows and highlighting the turquoise shallows.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and sun-drenched, framed by brilliant turquoise water and stark white sand.
- Environmental context
- Coastal beachfront site with rocky outcroppings, low scrub vegetation, and clear turquoise water.
- Spatial experience
- The approach moves vertically from the sandy beach up through rocky terrain via elevated boardwalks to the raised terrace and villa.
- Composition rhythm
- Axial symmetry of the main villa volumes balanced by staggered boardwalks cutting across the rocky slope.
