Brač, Postira - Building land with a villa project

Introducing a unique plot with the Sub Vela villa project, located in the protected bay of Postira on the island of Brač – one of the last untouched corners of the Adriatic where the view encompasses only pine forests and the sea between Brač and Omiš. This is one of the few remaining locations in the first row to the sea, with direct access to a pebble beach.

The location provides a perfect balance between privacy and accessibility. The bay is enclosed and protected from the expansion of the construction zone, which guarantees lasting peace and an authentic Mediterranean ambiance. A pedestrian path without traffic passes by the plot, ideal for families with children, while access to the plot by vehicle is possible. The town center, shops, pharmacy, restaurants, and marina with about fifteen berths can be reached in a few minutes of leisurely walking. The main ferry port of Supetar is only a ten-minute drive away, and it takes exactly twenty-five minutes to reach the location from Brač Airport.

The name "Sub Vela" (lat. under cover) symbolizes the concept of space under a stone "veil" – a secluded oasis that provides a sense of peace and connection with nature.

The villa is designed as a three-story residence with an emphasis on materiality and the atmosphere of the space. The construction of Brač stone merges the interior and exterior into a single whole, while the spacious glass surfaces open the view towards the sea and the pine forest. The project envisages five bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, an indoor and outdoor kitchen with a dining room, a spacious living room, a tavern, and a wellness area, a swimming pool with a sun deck and jacuzzi, covered and uncovered terraces, a garage for three vehicles, and additional outdoor parking.

The design is based on the concept of "Tent and Deep Space," divided into two spatial areas. The public space, which includes the tavern on the ground floor and the piano nobile on the first floor, is conceived as an open, floating tent supported by a raw, circular stone column that does not touch it, thereby enhancing the feeling of virtual space. The intimate area of the bedrooms is located on the upper floor and hidden "deep inside the stone," creating a feeling of an inner tent and a meditative sanctuary.

The main goal was to create a contemplative atmosphere, a space that acts like a virtual world – a place where users can imagine their own inner universe. The poetic and consistent use of stone makes the whole villa exude serenity, while copper details, clothes racks, and soft leather furniture introduce subtle contrasts and additional refinement.

The architectural intention is based on the idea of creating a space in which the virtual world exists parallel to the physical, connecting digital and tactile experiences through carefully shaped material and light. The design has the character of an oneiric scenography – a dreamy composition that oscillates between classicism and modernity, offering a space for contemplation with a view of the sea.

The inspiration comes from the Brač tradition of construction and landscape. Like the stone structures of the Blaca Desert or numerous stone quays, the Sub Vela villa immerses itself in the natural environment using the same stone from which the island itself is shaped. This "Brač beige stone" envelops the entire structure – both exterior and interior surfaces – creating a unique, immersed environment that invites peace and quiet.

The island of Brač is known for its exceptional beauty, rich cultural heritage, and the world-famous Brač stone that adorns some of the most famous buildings in the world, including the White House in Washington and Diocletian's Palace in Split. In addition to stone, Brač is recognized for its wines, olive oil, numerous art galleries, and the famous Zlatni Rat beach, one of the most famous symbols of the Adriatic.

Hiking to Vidova Gora, the highest peak of the Adriatic islands, provides an unforgettable view of the open sea and surrounding islands, while Postira retains the authentic charm of a peaceful fishing village with excellent restaurants, a marina, and cultural events that preserve the spirit of the Dalmatian way of life.

The Sub Vela project has a valid building permit, which allows the future owner to quickly and safely realize the construction.

This property is not just a residence – it is a trophy example of contemporary Mediterranean architecture, a fusion of art, nature, and space in one of the most special environments in the Adriatic.
