Villa Agra

The first thing that appears as one approaches Villa Agra is a screen of vertical wooden strips, the first evocation of the main living compound. Steps descend to a bridge which passes above treetops towards the north, arriving at a terrace located directly above the two bedrooms with the orientation shifting towards the west with its distant range of mountains. Steps lead down to a platform afloat in a water garden following the contours of the hill and connecting the main living area to the bedrooms. The two guest bedrooms are ensconced in a fold of the hillside.
The pool lies beneath the living area as close to the forest’s edge as possible, with and integrated sauna and gym at the same level. Villa Agra reveals itself in stages, saving its majestic views for the moment when one emerges into the living area…it is a journey that brings you step by step closer to the natural surroundings.
