Double-height dining and living area with a sculptural hanging pendant light installation and a mezzanine walkway above.

Mantillo sits on a sloped plot on Tenerife, its white sculptural volumes and round window openings designed to catch the island light while shielding the interior from the road.

Inside, a double-height living and dining space opens beneath a mezzanine walkway, drawing daylight down through a cascading pendant light installation and out toward the garden.

Upstairs, a reading nook tucked behind glass balustrades uses porthole windows to frame the landscape in miniature, a quiet counterpoint to the open living space below.

A rooftop pergola and a private plunge pool complete the villa, giving the house two distinct outdoor rhythms: a sheltered terrace above, and an intimate courtyard below.
