For centuries, the enclosed courtyard has been overlaid on various geographic settings—each time transformed according to the place. Villa Varoise’s slipped court provides simultaneous interiority and exteriority, leveraging the site’s sloping terrain and producing sustainable systems for amplification and cultivation. The result of this landscape integration is the production of a monumental vaulted threshold to a central courtyard. The vault is a ruled surface that mediates between the geometry of the supporting stair, the pool, and living areas above.
