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.
This spacious villa with Italian style has a typical farmhouse character combined with a modern feel. It’s located in a green oase in a small dutch village close to Rotterdam.
Because of the close collaboration between exterior architect Friso Woudstra and interior architect Martijn Veldman the lines of exterior and interior are merged into one natural surrounding with a great detail of perfection and symmetry.
Villa Monoi is a holiday home at the southern end of Playa Tamarindo located in the province of Guanacaste Costa Rica. This zone of Costa Rica belongs to an area of the most arid country affected by a pronounced dry season lasting one third of the year. The flora and fauna belong to the dry tropical forest and the region in general suffers from occasional droughts and water scarcity. The house is introverted since its location does not allow for the enjoyment of exterior views more than the groves of a green area contiguous to the property in the middle of a residential development.
The dwelling is implanted in a privileged landscape, with gorgeous visuals to the Small mountain ranges of the Punilla Valley, in a private neighborhood at the Northwest of Córdoba, in Mendiolaza City.It presents a rugged topography, with large height differences that allowed us to play with two big volumes supported one over the other one, restinguponthe natural terrain. This situation generates large overhangs, reinforcing the idea of monolithic volumes.
We materialize the concept with concrete seen cast on site in a phenolic formwork. This material is noble, classic, traditional and low maintenance, the same as the stone that was used to erect the retaining walls and the house basement.

Their previous holiday home, spread over two floors, made it difficult to use with their older age.
