OA Signature Villa

planned

Oppenheim Architecture designs a signature villa along the cliffs of Jalë Bay in Albania, as part of a collection of four residences embedded within the larger Jalë Bay Development. The villa is carved into the hillside as a concrete form inspired by caves and ancient stone structures, integrating with the coastal landscape. It features cast-in-place concrete walls with geometric reliefs inspired by traditional Albanian embroidery, a descending entry carved into the slope, and interiors framing views of the Ionian Sea and rock walls. A cantilevered pool extends from the cliff edge, reinforcing the villa's connection to the landscape.
