The spatial distribution of At103 villa is the result of balancing wants and needs. The complex is divided into 5 houses that work as separate elements. The “need” portion below ground reacts to the shy introverted traditional house, while the articulated “want” aspect above ground shows off the house as a highly desirable object. The structure is positioned in a progressive manner interrupted by patios and gardens in between activities. The 5 houses are divided by use in the following order: Workers, Guests, Family, Parents and Kids. The overall appearance of the structures may seem rather stark, and basic because of concrete, however we think that it lends itself perfectly to the sleek simplicity the designers were aiming for.
