VILLA ALBANI - ENCINITAS, SAN DIEGO, UNITED STATES (2004 - …) Situated at the top of a cliff over the Pacific Ocean and on two levels, the villa is designed as a large observatory over the sea. The lower level, a dark-concrete sleeper, contains the entrance and the bedrooms. The social areas are on the suspended, fully wood-lined upper lever. A vast external terrace projects itself as a vast console over the cliff, thereby making the relationship with the sea more intense and dramatic.
