Villa Mayomaya

Built at the highest point of the Casabrina Estate, Mayomaya connects two symmetrical swells of a hillside. Approached from below, steps lead upward to an open reception area. The sense of discovery comes with the appearance of the villa itself, as the whole structure settles into view: a lengthy expanse of terrace, semi-covered, fringed with decking and a curved horizon pool draw the eye outward towards a distant panoply of mountains. A bale bengong pavilion graces the southernmost tip of the compound, while a stretch of forest borders the pool, its treetops seemingly within arm’s reach. The main living area is open plan, connecting directly with the terrace to create a seamless flow from inside to outside. A central decorative wall of asymmetrical, intertwining struts evokes the tangle of rubber trees that form a backdrop to the site. Bedrooms are encased in glass, while a back wall, clad in a mosaic of local stone, features cantilevered steps giving access to the upper level bedrooms.
With its generous proportions and privileged position high on a hillside, Villa Mayomaya offers a myriad views and orientations, like an eagle’s eyrie above the trees.
