Polyphemus Villa by Carlo Enzo


The design for the house takes inspiration from the myth of Polyphemus, the one-eye giant and his professed by the ocean love for Galatea.
The villa, nicknamed "cyclops" is conceived as a viewing device that is carefully directed towards the commanding vistas in the surroundings.






Imagined as a "stacked" 3-layer system, the house is clearly divided vertically from public to private areas. The views-vistas gradually zoom-in or narrow in, rather to follow the vertical zoning progression.
