The villa with its spectacular environment is clad entirely in timber, an effect that feels both earthy and fresh. Vital to the awesome indoor-outdoor experience at the heart of this villa are two cantilevered decks that extend out over the glen, producing a sensation of hovering in nature. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors allow the views to be the main event.
