Marta González Architects as Architects

The house comes from the plot as an element with a distinctly horizontal. The magnificent view from this plot has been introduced inside the house, so that from every point of the house you can enjoy landscapes framed as if it were a painting. This is a volume game in which the horizontal volume of the first floor with white stone slides the black slate base that includes the ground floor. The whole ground floor has a full permeability with the garden perimeter, which is accessed through a third volume that plays with both horizontal and leading to the porch connecting the house with the outdoor pool. Access to the parcel is from the top so it has a global perspective on the front of the house. Once past the palm we have a white blank wall, which houses the glass and light staircase leading to his encounter with the ground in a black tank with a sheet of water overflowing.


Inside the house we have a double-height living room from which the glass walkways of the first floor are perceived.


In the lounge, double height wall is suspended on a stainless steel box that houses the fireplace. Along the living room there is a kitchen of 50 m2, with island work area and office area next to the porch.


To facilitate lighting and ventilation of basement laundry is provided of a fully glazed forecourt.


To get on the first floor have been designed a trace of glass steps that transmit the light that enters through the side windows of the ladder. In the first floor has been installed a glass walkway suspended from the roof slab, to provide access to the terrace.


The whole house is domotic in different aspects, air conditioning systems, burglar alarm, the overall sound of the entire house inside and out, which is in turn associated with the sound of the door entry and has Domotic mainly lighting, generating various scenes inside and outside the home, depending on different needs.
