Contemporary Villa
Contemporary villa design, from weekend retreats and hillside homes to sculptural conceptual houses and regional residential work.
Contemporary villas are detached residences that reinterpret the traditional country house through current materials, site strategies, and spatial planning. Designers working in this area typically balance privacy, views, and climate response with an open, legible plan.
Member work under this topic spans built retreats in Iran and coastal California, a conceptual sculptural villa, and a large-scale mixed project on the subject of sustainability. Together these show how the typology adapts to regional building traditions and to experimental form.
