Inspiration and Materiality
The design of Envy is inspired by our characteristic style, defined by a horizontal structure and a harmonious integration with the natural landscape. Exposed concrete was used as the main material, highlighting both its structural functionality and its unique aesthetic. One of the main challenges was maintaining the warmth typical of a home while working with exposed concrete, a material that can convey a sense of coldness if not properly executed. To address this, spaces on the ground floor were opened up, connecting the interior with the exterior, and wooden slats were strategically incorporated to provide the desired warmth.
