Retirement Villa

The retirement villa located in Malkerns features
contemporary pitched roof architecture that blends
seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. The design is carefully crafted to respond to the valley views on the south while allowing warm sunlight from the north courtyard to create a comfortable and inviting living space for its residents.

The villa is organized around a central courtyard plan
arrangement, which serves as the heart of the home. This courtyard is surrounded by the main living areas,
including the dining and living room, kitchen, and
bedrooms. The design of the courtyard allows for ample natural light and ventilation to flow throughout the living spaces, creating a bright and welcoming
atmosphere.

The pitched roof design of the villa is both functional
and aesthetically pleasing It allows for rainwater to be
collected and channeled into a central cistern for use
in the home, while also providing a unique architectural feature that complements the surrounding landscape. The roof overhangs help to shade the windows from the intense sun, while the use of reflective surfaces on the roof helps to reduce heat gain in the summer months.
