This two-story holiday villa located in Florida was designed with a relaxing, enjoyable holiday lifestyle in mind. It is built to encourage spending time outdoors and enjoying the beautiful weather, while providing functional and comfortable indoor spaces. The design focuses on creating a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, with an emphasis on the garden and pool as the central features. The material palette includes a simple, white color scheme that is neutral and elegant, and the villa takes a minimalist form that is easy to maintain and creates a sense of relaxation, making it the perfect spot for a holiday getaway.
The highlight of the design is the terraced layout, which includes several threshold spaces, such as a colonnaded verandah and a shaded outdoor space on the upper floor, providing a variety of options for enjoying the Florida weather. The overall design of the villa is meant to act as a subtle backdrop, allowing the garden and pool to take center stage. A spiral feature staircase connects the upper floors, allowing for easy access to the outdoors, where all the elements, including the landscaping, seating areas, and balconies, are all oriented towards the pool to emphasize the enjoyable holiday experience.
