About Villa Antioquia Casa

Villa Antioquia és una residència privada situada a Cap Cana, Punta Cana, República Dominicana. La casa ocupa 1130 metres quadrats de construcció en una parcel·la de 2630 metres quadrats. El disseny crea espais interiors permeables, tant físicament com visualment, a les àrees exteriors del terreny. Les condicions climàtiques locals van orientar l'ús de la ventilació natural. Un ampli voladís a la façana forma el llindar d'entrada. La pedra tallada autòctona, els revestiments de fusta i les rajoles de marbre de gran format configuren la paleta de materials.
