卡利别墅，刚好在2016年夏天交付，是一个面积为2000平方米，有11间卧室的大型海滨豪宅，从建筑规模到室内和家具设计和选择，都是作为一个完整的委托项目来设计的。这是一个为期四年的努力，涉及与众多设计师和承包商的合作，真正激发了建筑作为整体艺术作品的可能性的更新。
Villa Kali, delivered just in time for the summer of 2016, is a major 2,000 sqm, 11 bedrooms seaside mansion, designed as a full commission from the architectural scale to the interior and furniture design and selection. It is a four-year effort that involved collaborations with numerous designers and contractors that truly inspired the renewal of the possibility of architecture as a total work of art.
重新审视传统的东方海滨住宅–一个有几间卧室的房子，围绕着一个有喷泉的开放庭院–这个版本的概念是通过将体量分割成两个水平运动，向地中海开放，使房子的所有空间都能看到不间断的海景。体量分割后的外部空隙显示出一个层叠的脊柱，它有一个梯田楼梯和水池，从入口处一直到通过桥接的接待区的海滨花园，缓缓落下。接待处的玻璃系统可以完全滑开，创造出一个交叉通风的室外覆盖空间，可以在阴凉的环境中四季居住。
Revisiting the traditional oriental home in a seaside setting – a house with several bedrooms that surround an open courtyard with a water fountain – this version of the concept is achieved through a splitting the volumes into two horizontal movements that open up towards the Mediterranean allowing for uninterrupted sea views to all spaces of the house. The external void revealed by this split of the volumes reveals a cascading spine with a terraced staircase and water pools that gently fall down from the entry level all the way to the seaside garden via the bridging reception area. The glazing system in the reception can slide away completely creating a cross-ventilated outdoor covered space that can be inhabited across seasons in the pleasantness of the shade.
房子的建筑语言受到附近海岸上岩石层的启发，既形象又戏剧性。这种语言阐明了一系列叠加的水平平面，薄而延伸。每一个平面都成为各种项目的支撑：较低的公共层既是内部又是外部，容纳了接待区、健身区和一直到海岸的室外游泳池露台。上面两层容纳了众多的卧室，两层都有家庭生活区，还有一个壮观的中间空间悬空露台，同样向后花园和海边的地平线开放。这个水平构图的最后一层，以悬空花园和户外露台的形式，将循环一直延伸到屋顶。
The architectural language of the house is inspired by the stratification of the nearby rock formation on the shore, at once graphic and dramatic. The language articulates a series of superposed horizontal planes, thin and extending. Every one of those planes becomes the support for a variety of programs: a lower public level at once internal and external, houses the reception areas, gym area, and outdoor pool terraces all the way to the shore. The two upper levels house a multitude of bedrooms with family living areas on both levels and a spectacular mid-space suspended terrace equally open to the back garden and the horizon on the seaside. The final layer of this horizontal composition extends the circulation all the way to the roofs in the form of suspended gardens and outdoor terraces.
