The Dickwella Villa is a beachfront retreat where raw architectural forms stand in striking contrast to the fluid rhythm of the sea. Defined by its bold triangular geometry, the villa’s form takes inspiration from contextual elements, creating a distinctive presence against the coastal landscape. 

The villa is elevated above the ground to offer uninterrupted views of the distant boulders scattered across the shore. A deliberate play of openings—narrow at entry and dramatically expanding toward the sea—heightens the experience of discovery, framing nature’s beauty with precision. 

The design embraces a raw, minimalist aesthetic, blending rustic textures with a refined spatial experience. Natural light and shifting shadows animate the interiors, enhancing the villa’s connection to its surroundings. The materials are chosen for their durability and ease of maintenance, ensuring a low-maintenance retreat. 

Set within a lush, preserved landscape, the villa treads lightly on its site, allowing the greenery to envelop its structure. An 18m x 5m pool extends the experience of immersion, mirroring the horizon and reinforcing the seamless dialogue between the built and nature.
