Sabuleum II

In conversation with the Atrium House

Oriented towards the Atrium House, Sabuleum II continues the narrative of tradition transformed. Drawing on the calm geometry of Mediterranean courtyards—from the Roman domus to the shaded patios of Moorish towns—it is conceived as a vessel for light and air. Its central spaces gather illumination from multiple directions, each aperture framing a distinct moment in the day: the sharp morning sun, the diffuse noon glow, the amber tones of late afternoon.

 

Carefully aligned visual axes extend through the building, opening towards gardens, orchards, and stone-lined passages that recall the walled lanes of old villages. These sightlines dissolve the threshold between interior and exterior, allowing movement through the house to feel like a slow walk through both architecture and landscape.

 

Here, light is not merely admitted but shaped—filtered through timber lattices, reflected off limewashed walls, and softened across clay floors—creating patterns that shift like the passing hours themselves. Within this choreography, the interiors take on a quiet, almost sacred presence: spaces where the weight of stone, the stillness of air, and the texture of time combine to invite pause, reflection, and an enduring connection to the land that holds them.
