The concrete villa is a stunning and modernist structure, with a central observation tower that rises up from the surrounding landscape to offer panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Attached to the observation tower are two concret boxes, each of which serves as a living quarters for the inhabitants of the villa. One of the most striking features of the villa is the grass on the roof of the four living quarters, which gives the building a sense of harmony with the natural environment and helps to regulate the temperature inside the villa. The grass is carefully tended and manicured, creating a verdant and peaceful oasis that contrasts with the stark and angular exterior of the villa.

The exterior of the villa is constructed entirely from concrete, giving it a sense of solidity and durability, while also providing a bold and modernist visual statement. The building's lines are sharp and angular, with precise angles and clean edges that help to define its overall shape and form.

One of the most captivating features of the villa is the hollow swimming pool that surrounds it, creating a sense of separation and connection between the building and the natural environment around it. The pool is designed to be seamlessly integrated into the landscape, with a dark, reflective surface that mirrors the sky and the surrounding terrain.

The concrete horizon villa is a bold and innovative architectural statement, combining modernist design principles with a sense of harmony and connection to the natural environment.
