Kali is one of the largest settlements on the Adriatic Islands, located on the island of Ugljan near the Croatian city of Zadar. The island is famous for fishing. The project is the design of two terraced villas on vacant land located between two roads with a longitudinal height difference of 21 m. The challenge is to design a unified space to meet the diverse needs of contemporary users while creating a “with the sea at the seaside” feel of life.

‍
The villa is designed as a whole space consisting of a small atmosphere that accommodates all the functions required for a high-quality holiday. Given that the villa will be used mainly in the warm summer, the idea is to make full use of the external space, which is conceived as an extension of the interior space. Together we create a whole of space and function. Due to the steep slopes of the venue, all the atmosphere created is enriched by the greatest value of the venue — the sea and the view of Zadar city.

‍
Considering the different conditions of the two microlocations, the villas are completely different in their organization, but they have the same architectural performance. In this way, the uniformity of the design can be maintained. The relatively large volume of the villa (relative to the site itself) is divided into three cubes of approximately the same size, so that their relationship creates an external space of different quality suitable for comfortable use.
The whole layout is connected by a staircase so that it does not interfere with other functions, while providing a passage from the two houses to the sea. Pay special attention to the design of large horizontal outdoor living spaces, which surround these spaces, whether day or night.
