About Villa Antioquia Hus

Villa Antioquia er en privat bolig i Cap Cana, Punta Cana, Den dominikanske republikk. Huset dekker 1130 kvadratmeter bebygd areal på en tomt på 2630 kvadratmeter. Designet skaper interiørrom som er fysisk og visuelt gjennomtrengelige mot omgivelsene utendørs på tomten. Lokale klimaforhold har vært styrende for bruken av naturlig ventilasjon. En omfattende utkraging på fasaden danner inngangspartiets terskel. Naturstein hugget lokalt, treverk og storformat marmorfliser utgjør materialpaletten.
