Edge House is a semi-detached family villa positioned along the prominent ridge of Madliena, overlooking expansive northern sea views and sunsets. Designed as part of the Madliena Heights 04+05 program, the residence sits beside an 18th-century watchtower — a context that called for a restrained architectural response. The resulting form is clean and pure, with subtle incisions that frame key vistas both within and beyond the site.
Divided across three levels, the villa separates living, sleeping, and leisure spaces while maintaining a continuous relationship with the surrounding topography. Orientation plays a central role: openings are carefully placed to capture the sea to the north and the watchtower to the west, allowing the landscape and heritage to define the experience of the home.

Internally, the family sought a contemporary Mediterranean atmosphere — calm, warm, and quietly refined. The material palette follows a vertical gradient: beginning at Level 0 with a bright, neutral tone where the exterior finishes flow seamlessly indoors. As one descends through the home, the materials become richer and earthier, introducing deeper textures and natural warmth through stone and timber.

This journey culminates in the basement level, where expressive wood and rough plaster finishes create a cocoon-like, almost cave-inspired environment — a tactile counterpoint to the lightness above. Edge House becomes a study in contrast and continuity: contemporary yet Mediterranean, minimal yet grounded, refined yet deeply connected to its site.
