ACA | Villa Latera
Architect Nizar Chaya

The stone masonry at Villa Latera handles the transition from the steep slope into the living spaces. Using that heavy, textured base allows the upper glass volumes to feel lighter and more intentional.

It is about establishing a balance where the building remains rooted in the earth while prioritizing those open, coastal views.

ACA | Villa Latera
Architect Nizar Chaya

Designing at 400 meters above sea level shifts the focus entirely toward the horizon. For this project, the goal was to make the elevation feel accessible, so we used tiered landscaping and deep terraces that step down with the natural grade. When you’re standing by the infinity pool, the Mediterranean feels like a natural extension of the floor plan rather than something you’re looking at from a distance.

ACA | Villa Latera
Architect Nizar Chaya

There’s a sculptural element to how these volumes stack on top of each other.

By using deep overhangs and recessed glass, we managed to create natural shading and distinct private zones for the duplex without breaking the visual flow of the facade.

It’s a complex bit of geometry to get right on a steep site, especially when trying to keep every living space oriented toward that massive coastal view.

ACA | Coastal Duplex Villa

Sketch by Architect Nizar Chaya

A contemporary reinterpretation of Mediterranean hillside architecture. The design utilizes a strategic L-shaped layout to maximize the frontage, ensuring every room is oriented directly toward the sea.

​Anchored by local stone, the structure steps down the coastal topography to balance modern geometry with the natural context. Large spans of glazing dissolve the indoor-outdoor boundary, fully embracing the region’s distinct light and horizon.
