Villa Butterfly

Surrounded by natural landscape and set at the top of a valley, Villa Butterfly is a contemporary house born from the dialogue between architecture and nature. Its singular form, inspired by a butterfly opening its wings over the landscape, takes shape in sinuous, expressive lines designed to make the most of the panoramic views and the sun.

Laid out on two levels, the spaces follow the topography of the site and create a spatial experience marked by fluidity, transparency and a constant connection between inside and outside. A careful choice of materials and the bespoke design of each space reinforce the sculptural identity of SAME Architects’ proposal, in which every curve contributes to a bold, timeless architecture.
