Article source: Reload Architecture & Research Villa M is a renovation project of 2016. A jewel in the wild green of southern Sardinia (Italy), more precisely in Villasimius, a few steps from the sea and the beaches. The intervention involved both the interior and exterior, including the construction of two small extensions, one in the main building and one in the small annex. The main objective was to give more prominence to the beauty of the place, the landscape, nature and local materials, so predominant, that left no choice but simplicity and purity in the forms and lines.

We are then welcomed by a mosaic-carpet that welcomes us at home; a house that saw the mild climate of this region knows no boundaries between inside and outside, in fact hidden by the green leaves of a giant Ibiscus, we find an outdoor shower. Continuing a little further on, we arrive in a small square, the heart of the whole property and from here we can finally get an idea of the development of the whole project, on the one hand access to the guest annex and on the other ‘access to the main house and the Mediterranean garden, is also the first point where we can finally see the sea and the pool.

The first room we find entering is an open space, living area with kitchen and master bedroom fused together, separated only by a light curtain. the simple and essential kitchen, does not want to be the protagonist of the scene, like the three iron lamps suspended in the high ceiling, which fill the space but without weighing it down; the master bedroom with walk-in closet and small mezzanine-study, is full of details, such as the living area, which suggest us the love of the owner for the sea and boats.

Under the wooden porch of the house, in a corner sheltered by the mistral wind, the large masonry dining table is located right next to the outdoor kitchen in Biancone di Orosei. In the most panoramic area of the house, instead we find the swimming pool, with edge in Sardinian granite, immersed in the Mediterranean scrub and on the side, in a hidden terrace, the wooden solarium.

A project that has touched on more themes, such as the renovation and expansion of existing buildings, the reconstruction of all outdoor spaces, the study of custom-made furniture, the design of green with essences and native plants.

Wood, iron and local stones are the main materials used, natural or lightly worked. The attention to detail has been fundamental, nothing is left to chance, but the Light and the Nature still remain the real protagonists.
