Photos by Luis Diaz Diaz. The House is located in a steep and rocky hillside covered in the local wild vegetation, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view of the local bay. The plot is accessed from the ground level; from there you can choose between a gentle zig zag path and an elevator that will take you to the main entrance. Just as you cross the front door you are greeted by the first view of the bay, framed by the infinity windows on the living-dinner room. These magnificent views will be the backdrop for every interior space in the house.
Also in this floor you will find one of the ensuite bedrooms, kitchen and utility room, leaving two more bedrooms also ensuite on the top floor. The design is based on the following principles: 1. The creation of a sequence of stone platforms to settle the volumes built on the abrupt site. 2. The positioning of four stacked prismatic volumes that accommodate the main living spaces and frame the different sections of the landscape. 3. The closure with glass surfaces of the interstitial spaces between the boxes and the stone foundations in order to dilute the limits between interior and exterior space.
4. The free positioning of the internal elements that define the use of the living space in the house. The proposal gives the same importance and intensity to the design of the four boxes framing a slice of the Mediterranean Sea than the air trapped between them. That way, the interstitial space between the volumes, far from being a secondary space, becomes the true heart of the house, the place where the views are present in the finest way, and where the materials and colours chosen reflect the bay as well as the architectural tradition in the island.
