On the European island of #malta, Rome-based firm Luca Peralta Studio drew inspiration from stunning sea vistas for its extensive renovation of Villa Rihana, a private residence.
Aiming to accentuate the view and blur the boundaries between indoors and out, the home’s #design is defined by two horizontal planes that run parallel to the horizon line. The upper plane is a sleek cantilevered roof, while the lower one forms a ground-floor plateau that appears suspended upon the landscape.
Together, they create an architectural bookend for the villa, a striking geometric silhouette that unifies the structure’s disparate volumes.
The ground level bisects the infinity pool, which is brightened by a pair of Vibia Bamboo floor lamps punctuating the far reaches of the patio. The minimalist fixtures by Antoni Aro- la and Enric Rodríguez are distinguished by slender stalks that seem to sprout directly out of the ground, recalling the organic form of its namesake plant.
The lamps are studded with #led lights along its stem and cast a warm glow across the pool while also doubling as a landscape feature.
Nearby, a series of Meridiano lamps are positioned along an exterior walkway. The fixtures by Jordi Vilardell and Meritxell Vidal are formed from an open-slot spherical shade and serve as seating as well as outdoor illumination. An ambient #led shines through Meridiano’s grid and casts a radial pattern of shadow and #light on the terrace. Topped with foam, the lamps provide a pretty perch for enjoying the Mediterranean garden they overlook.
