RARDO-Architects as Architects

The RARDO-Architects team was commissioned to design a villa in the new development area of La Plana, in Sitges (Barcelona) . The brief from the clients was create a family house with 3 large double bedrooms on the ground floor and a large master suite on the upper level, directly connected to a large terrace.

The Ground floor, has a large open plan living space, where the double height contains a minimalist staircase and concrete fireplace that frame the views into the garden. the exteriors on the south side have been conceived as a cascade of smaller terraces that absorb the gentle slope of the plot.

Upstairs there is the master suite, composed by a  large bathroom and a walk-in closet that lead into the bedroom. Outside, the roof of the ground floor, can be walked upon and it has a series of spaces that are all connected. There is a jacuzzi near the bedroom and and a fireplace to enjoy the autumn evenings, from where there is a good view of sitges old town by night.
