Concrete Monolith rises on a steep and spatially challenging site with an open panorama of the Vis archipelago. Indeed, the architects designed it as a subtle and solid concrete monolith, positioned along the edge of the terrain. This frees the central part of the plot for a detached pool volume and outdoor spaces intended for enjoyment and privacy.

Two Concrete Volumes Around a Fluid Living Zone

The concept rests on two clearly defined concrete volumes that house service areas and vertical circulation. Between them, a representative and fluid living zone opens up, comprising the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms, fully oriented towards the sea view and horizon. A bridge from the north side provides access to the house, which creates a sense of privacy while it emphasises the architectural “anchoring” on the steep terrain. Every step through the space follows careful consideration, from the entrance to the complete opening towards light and views.

Loggias That Play With Light and Shadow

Loggias, built in a perforated metal structure, create a refined play of light and shadow, offering a contemporary interpretation of a Mediterranean pergola. The contrast between the massive concrete volumes and the light, transparent elements gives the project dynamism and a sophisticated balance. The pool, with its sun deck, takes shape as a separate, clearly defined architectural volume, connected via a cascading staircase. This further emphasises the composition on the site and ensures complete privacy in the relaxation areas.

A Continuous Outdoor Living Experience

Cascading terraces with gardens and a covered summer kitchen beneath the bridge create a continuous outdoor living experience, extending the interior into a Mediterranean environment. The material palette stays restrained and authentic, featuring raw concrete, subtly textured walls, stone, metal, and polished floors. The architects deliberately chose this understated palette, so the architecture remains timeless and elegant in dialogue with its natural surroundings. As a result, the residence carries a strong identity that combines monolithic solidity, a balance between privacy and openness, and spatial lightness.
