Light Catcher
Addressing the challenges of a narrow south-facing site, this elegant alteration provides an L-shaped courtyard focused around a shallow reflection pond that visually extends the original villa's central circulation. Tall vertical volumes with clerestory windows oriented to the north and west punctuate the lineal plan. A serene and spatially dynamic alteration that effortlessly addresses the constraints of its context by creating long internal views and changes in volume.
