ESSA was contracted by LJL in 2004 to collaborate with architect Marco Zanini, founding associate in the firm Ettore Sotsass and Associates, based in Milan, Italy, on the design of a vast residential complex comprising some 6,000 m2 on the top of the hill that dominates the island. This residential complex consists of an assemblage of partially buried structures that project out from the hillside, including a principal residential compound consisting of two structures with reception rooms, office, heliport, cinema and principal bedroom, three guest residences, a central kitchen, laundry and staff quarters, garage, storage, gymnasium and salt and fresh water swimming pools. The residential and kitchen structures have been located on the hillside and have been provided with green roofs. In this manner these structures are practically invisible from the principal residence above, since they are in effect garden terraces that allow panoramic views of the surrounding ocean and mountains on the mainland.
