A neoclassical exterior suits owners who want a house that looks settled and formal without becoming heavy. This villa is white, with a pitched tile roof and carefully drawn ornament.

The front is symmetrical. Large columns and cornices give it weight; the entrance is marked by a projecting roof, decorative columns and a tall arched opening, so the eye lands in the centre.

Arched windows repeat that curve along the elevation. The roof and eaves finish the silhouette. Classical detail is kept in proportion, so the house reads as a home rather than a set piece.
