Cascade Villa

A sequence of tall piers and projecting caps frames cascading sheets of water. Narrow openings preserve views beyond the enclosure, while the reflecting pool and foreground jets establish a layered passage between the glazed interior and the garden. Lighting at the base of the wall gives the vertical elements definition after dusk.

Intersecting rectangular volumes distinguish the entrance from the surrounding wings. A recessed glazed corner opens the composition toward the approach, while deep facade frames and upper balconies establish a clear relationship between the two levels. Broad steps connect the entrance to the curved forecourt.

A central entrance volume is punctuated by slender vertical openings that extend the eye upward. The adjoining wings step back beneath deep rectangular frames, creating sheltered thresholds. Transparent balcony edges retain the continuity of the elevation and its connection to the surrounding landscape.

Repeated facade bays organize the long elevation into a readable rhythm. Recessed glazing and projecting balconies create alternating layers of depth, while the entrance volume anchors the composition. Low lighting traces the steps and emphasizes the transition from approach to threshold.
