On a steep hillside in Begur, with privileged views of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding greenery, stands this single-family home designed as a second residence for extended summer stays.

The project was born from the intention to integrate with the site’s topography. Rather than imposing on the terrain, the architecture accompanies it, unfolding in a sequence of platforms that naturally descend towards the landscape.

Access is from the upper level, where an arrival platform leads to the vertical core that organizes the house. From this point, the home is developed over four staggered levels.

On the first floor, the sleeping area groups the bedrooms — all with private bathrooms and views — within a compact volume that opens to the environment without sacrificing privacy. The master bedroom, connected to a rear patio, extends the interior experience towards a more intimate, sheltered exterior.

The ground floor houses the common areas: kitchen, dining, and living rooms arranged in continuity, fully open to a large terrace with a swimming pool. This horizontal platform becomes the true heart of the summer: an intermediate space between the house and the landscape where the boundaries between inside and outside blur.

Below this visible living area, the basement accommodates a games room, wine cellar, and TV lounge. These spaces, illuminated by an English courtyard and skylights, maintain a visual and sensory connection with the upper levels.

The materiality of the project reinforces its relationship with the place: local stone walls, exposed concrete without false ceilings, and continuous mortar finishes shape a sober and essential architecture. Sant Vicenç stone, cut to measure, carpets every interior and exterior space like a mineral rug guiding the path through the home.

More than a house, this is a structure for inhabiting the landscape: light from the sea, solid from the earth.
