About Villa Antioquia Hus

Villa Antioquia är en privatbostad belägen i Cap Cana, Punta Cana, Dominikanska republiken. Huset omfattar 1130 kvadratmeter byggyta på en tomt om 2630 kvadratmeter.

En omfattande utskjutande konstruktion på fasaden bildar entréns tröskel. Handhuggen lokal sten, träbeklädnader och storformatiga marmorplattor formar materialpaletten.
