An anonymous developer -built villa situated on a magnificent site with long views has been extended to take greater advantage of the spectacular setting. The main entrance at pavement level gives way to a spatial sequence which, without changing levels reveals a treetop setting to the rear. A new family-centred social space accommodating kitchen, dining and sitting and defined by a series of differing ceiling heights, clerestory lighting and bay windows cantilevers dramatically above a simple plinth which both acts as an important structural element as well as accommodating further family spaces with direct access to the south-facing garden terrace below.
