When the client approached us his initial need was just a swimming pool with a bbq space to implement the existing house of his extended family on the plot next door. The design concept was to erode a monolithic volume that is compact on the external sides, providing protection and corroded internally where niches act as indoor inhabitable areas, protected but preserving vistas of the sea in front.

The need to create a protective private space lead to an elegant solution that met the clients specific brief more than enough. As a result a complete and autonomous house was designed, that is used as a guest house to host the young family when visiting the grandparents.

The design was based on two principles: to create something beautiful and distinctive from its surroundings, yet attaining value for money. A key challenge for the interior architecture of this house was to harmonize the potential for expansiveness with the programmatic requirements of the brief. The layout falls into two main territories: roughly three quarters of the floor incorporates a master bedroom, bathroom, compact kitchen, dining and living with the remainder of the plan left open as a bbq terrace that can be later attached to the house with various possibilities. The main feature of the construction is the stone wall with stone brought from local manufacturers. Roof photovoltaic will be installed as well as water collector tanks.
