The project of a private villa on the sloping terrain of an indescribably beautiful Portuguese island was a real pleasure for us. The request from the customers was to create something unique in terms of architecture and interior space, but taking into account the local features of the land and existing natural factors.

The more difficult the project seems, the more interesting it is for YODEZEEN. After all, we meet challenges with a great thirst to overcome them and bring something very cool, professional and exciting to the world. Designing on such complex terrain is a very difficult and painstaking process. But along with this, it is incredibly interesting, both in terms of technical design and implementation.

The house has a basement floor with a technical function and spa area, a ground floor with living rooms, dining areas and a second floor with plenty of bedrooms for the owners and guests. It was important to preserve the unique view from the windows of the picturesque landscape of the Madeira island, so all the spacious terraces and panoramic windows have unrivaled views.

The main concept of this architecture consisted in the spatial dissolution of the architectural volume in the natural environment of the location. The main task is to plant the house on a very complex landscape. And the solution is to use the cascades of floors, which are harmoniously combined with the slopes of this picturesque natural environment.

At the basis of the conceptual solution of the volume, we laid a plate-like composition of architecture, which is perceived very dynamically and easily from the point of view of general visual contact with the building.

The YODEZEEN team made the power of water an important part of the Falls Villa architecture. Thus, the waterfall on the basement floor is an audiovisual element of the architecture, which brings it closer to merging with the surrounding space. The same task is in the greenery on the roof of the house, which makes it almost invisible from a bird’s eye view.
