OC3

Oceanic 3 is a villa conceived as a shared retreat for two families. The project is based on a balanced program that offers equal conditions to both households: two main suites, two secondary bedrooms, and an independent guest apartment, created by splitting the ground floor beneath the pool and taking advantage of the natural slope of the plot. The plot, located on a gentle cliff less than 200 meters from the sea, offers an open horizon that becomes the central axis of the project. The house is organized so that all rooms face the views, making the Mediterranean its true backdrop. Following the logic of Le Corbusier’s Villa Stein, the building closes on its sides to protect privacy from neighboring plots and opens fully to the sea, establishing a direct dialogue between architecture and landscape. The volume is composed of three identical modules stacked with slight shifts. These movements not only generate terraces, shadows, and courtyards, but also create privacy within the outdoor areas, allowing each space to maintain visual independence while remaining fully open to the sea. The geometry responds to the topography, climate, and light. The form does not seek to impose itself, but to adapt and respond to the conditions of the site, so that overhangs, orientations, and proportions arise as a direct consequence of the experience of living facing the horizon. Oceanic 3 is, in essence, a home that extends toward the sea, a serene architecture where view, light, and space merge into a single gesture.
