In Gavà Mar, the inner garden becomes the true heart of the home and its main source of atmosphere. Conceived as a domestic oasis, this space combines water, vegetation and light to create a sense of calm, privacy and privilege that extends throughout the house. Beyond its landscape dimension, the garden acts as an architectural element capable of isolating the home from its immediate surroundings and building a protected inner world.
The relationship between interior and exterior is articulated through generously proportioned cantilevered porches that open onto this central space, creating a fluid continuity between the living areas and the garden. These elements act as climatic and visual filters, controlling solar exposure, modulating natural light and reinforcing the sense of refuge. The architecture turns inward, prioritising views and domestic life around this central void.
This strategy allows the home to detach itself from an urban context that, at certain points, is aggressive from a planning perspective. On crossing the threshold, the outside world disappears and gives way to a space of calm and seclusion, where the sound of water, the presence of vegetation and the filtered light build a serene, controlled atmosphere. The garden thus becomes the home's true private Eden, extending its sensory influence to every interior space.
