pitched thatched roof expands upon sarchina villa's cone white brick columns

The primary volume is elevated above the site and supported by four inverted-cone white columns. These structural elements lift the building clear of the terrain, preserving visual and physical continuity at ground level and allowing grass, air, and movement to pass beneath the structure. The elevation creates a shaded patio below the main volume, extending the usable space of the villa while reinforcing its lightweight presence.
