On the first island which is taking shape, nestled between the slopes of the mountain park and the Championship Course, are six variants of the original four kinds of villa designed by architect Fuksas. Each of the villas has been designed and built to merge into the morphology of the land around it. So we have mirror-image villas and villas on two levels. The swimming pools have been designed to embrace the houses and their surroundings. The island, consisting of 15 villas, is divided into a raised area, affording stunning views over the whole resort down to the sea and the Tower of Nora, and a lower part whose gardens merge with the fairways. We have produced four mock-up villas to illustrate the materials and finishes chosen by Massimiliano and the furnishing range designed by Doriana Fuksas for Is Molas and produced by Moroso and Venini.

Architect Fuksas has designed four types of villas for Is Molas – villa Palas, villa Luxi, villa Nea and villa Arenada – all different in shape, size and finish. The villas, already under construction, reflect the essence of the whole project, respecting the indigenous landscape and standing on existing land which stretches from the mountain park down to the golf courses. The vegetation consists of Mediterranean scrub and native species such as myrtle, mastic trees, heather, strawberry trees and cork oaks. The villas are positioned to provide the best possible views of the sea, golf course and the mountains. They are built in line with bio-architectural standards, using mainly locally produced, natural materials. In ensure they are blend effortlessly into the natural setting, a special study into colours was carried out. The living spaces are heated in the winter and cooled in the summer by radiant panels in the floors and dehumidifiers in the walls, delivering maximum comfort whatever the season.

Doriana Fuksas, architect and art historian with a rare sensitivity for every expression of culture, has collected furniture, fabrics, carpets and objects for years during her travels. «I buy them because I find them original, interesting, without really knowing where to put them» she says. «There is an inherent beauty in things, an appeal that must be captured, without being conditioned by the latest trends.» This experience, mixed with a unique taste for “sophisticated simplicity”, has led to the creation of a dedicated range of furniture for the Inhabited Sculptures of Is Molas. Straight lines alternate with curving shapes, reflecting the architecture of the new villas. Research and careful choice of materials, leather and fabrics in highly original combinations. We invite you to explore the ‘Concept Furniture for Is Molas’ range by Doriana Fuksas.
