Hello and congratulations on your project, I really enjoyed reviewing your proposal. Overall, the analysis and spatial mapping of the area is excellent! The way you worked with the slope by introducing that bold, descending slab was one of the most powerful moves in the project, organizing the space beautifully and giving a clear rhythm to the three villa volumes. Each part feels distinct but still part of a coherent whole, which isn’t easy to achieve. What stood out to me most was how you balanced a strong architectural gesture with sensitivity to the site. The way the structure seems to grow out of the terrain rather than being imposed on it gives the whole composition a sense of belonging. The volumes cascade in a way that feels almost effortless, and that simplicity is very elegant.
All in all, this is a really thoughtful and confident design. It has a sculptural presence, but it also feels livable and rooted in place.
If I had one suggestion, it would be to think a bit more about how materiality could enhance the concept. Since the form is so striking, the materials could help ground it even more, maybe something heavier or rougher for the parts embedded in the land, and lighter or more transparent where the structure lifts off.
