Situated in the heart of a green islet near Geneva, the two private villas merge into one same building overlooking the landscape. With similar volumes they began with a simple geometric manipulation, the layout is a rotation of 90° separated by a common wall. However, contained by the same wall they stand united as one.

As the surrounding environment’s colors merge and melt together, the green facade invites discussion about perception, simultaneously differentiating and combining the trees and the house. Similarly, the reciprocity between outdoor rooms and large scaled windows create deep affinity between the interior and the garden surrounds.
The patio plays an important role in the living space, elements are distributed around this piece of nature as a transitional space between the areas. The outdoor room also brings sunlight to the interior living spaces. The ground floor is constituted by a play of multiple visions of landscape creating gathering spaces for the house, the withdrawal of the main room and the first floor offers shelter for the users from view.
