The project of the villa, by Ola Studio, is designed for a single owner with a nursing family and is located 400 meters from Portsea Bay. Franklin Residence is located along a road protected by dense shrubs, with sandy driveways that disappear into the foliage, recalling the connection with the environment

Franklin reflects the owner's interest in the arts while embracing the characteristics of the beach environment: the designers create a sense of belonging to the environment with a quiet architectural language. The form of the residence is very simple, two stories, although from the street it appears to be a single story home. The intent is to be humble on the outside and full of warmth, light, joy and a unique look on the inside
