Details
The previous study of the terrain marked the design of this house that manages not to invade the native flora and integrate into the environment as an element that arises from nature and coexists with it. In the whole of the house we find a part buried in the ground, fully integrating itself and other volumes that fly so as not to disturb it. The orientation of these flying bodies meets the views over the Mediterranean Sea, and their disposition avoids creating shadows between them.
The Jury‘s Statement
The»Villa Flotante« blends harmoniously into the natural surroundings. The design combines different cubic volumes with outstanding structures that are cleverly connected. The single-family home achieves a balance between functionality and environmental awareness by cleverly interacting with the topography and maximizing the view of the Mediterranean.
