"Achieving external simplicity, and internal excitement is one of the main goals of the volumetric concept. The overlap is organized in a way that creates a spacious terrace on the first floor, and a pool enclosure underneath the terrace. The main core of the project space is organized at the intersection of the cubes, due to the density of this area and the fine-grained construction around the project, there is no significant privacy in the vicinity. Considering the repeated emphasis of the stakeholders on preserving privacy, various options were examined to study the spatial configuration and organization, especially regarding the pool. It was determined that the desired privacy for the stakeholders would not be achieved in the pool enclosure. Therefore, the spatial plan was revised, and the pool was removed from the site plan, and relocated inside the villa, allowing for year-round use and ensuring privacy. The pool became an integral part of the interior space of the project."
