Villa Dall’ava, Paris, France.


Villa Dall’ava by Rem Koolhaas and The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) was completed way back in 1991. It was designed for a family of three with seperate ‘apartments’ one for the parents and one for their daughter. The client who wished for a swimming pool on their roof alse specifically requested full panoramic views (from their pool) of the surrounding landscape and city of Paris where the Villa is located.

The site is like a big room, with a boundary made of greenery, garden walls and slopes. It is composed of three parts: a sloping garden, the main volume of the villa, the street level garage with access in a cavity.

They are joined by the swimming pool which rests on the concrete structure encased by the glass pavilion.
