Located in the city of Ulcinj, a few kilometers from the border with Albania, the Kosovo study Maden Group has designed a spacious house perched on the hills of the Montenegrin coast.
The Hill House, completed in 2019 by Maden Group, owes its name to its privileged location, which was a determining part of the studio's design decisions.

The architectural operations of the work respond mainly to that intention of contextualizing the building within the surrounding environment, even through the evident morphological contrast between the rigorous edges of the volumes and the slopes of the natural terrain.

The house also takes as part of its formal and aesthetic resolution the traditional houses of the Mediterranean coast, which oscillate between the immaculate white of their facades and the natural stone that finishes off the details of the work.
 

Description of project by Maden Group

From the beginning for our studio it was important to design a villa that had to be contextualized so that the house would be stretched out and placed inside the location.

By integrating the home with the terrain and handling the details to enhance environmental appreciation, this carefully positioned and developed design gains an outdoor treatment in a challenging location.

The project was influenced by the countless coastal villas that can be found on the Ulcinj coastline. "The Hill House" was simplified to pure geometric shapes and then manipulated and modernized to take advantage of the sea views.

The home is designed to provide "a variety of different experiences that allow owners to fully maximize the use of the exterior as well as the interior".

The Hill House defines an urban front and height in order to benefit from sea view.

The white, clean and typical Mediterranean windows contribute to a relaxed and bold aesthetic similar to the context structures.

The selection of materials, which also includes native stone, provides the home with a special character that will stand the time.
