Villa Serena

Location

Amalfi Coast, Italy

Scope

New-build villa, interior architecture and furnishing, 7,400 sq ft, terraced across three levels

Duration

18 months

Most cliffside builds work outward from a flat pad cut into the rock. We carved each of the three terrace levels directly into the cliff face instead, so every primary room opens onto stone rather than a constructed edge — the house reads as something the site made room for, not something dropped onto it.
