HOUSE OF SAND | FRAN SILVESTRE ARQUITECTOS

Text description provided by the architects: The house is located in front of the Mediterranean, in a place where an imposing dune protects the coast from storms. This starting point defines the project configuration. The house materializes with two volumes arranged perpendicular to each other. To have a view of the sea, the house's use program is inverted as opposed to the traditional scheme, the day area is organized on the upper floor to be able to look over from the dune and uses the lower level roof as a lookout. The night area is located on the entrance level, perpendicular to the sea. Circulation is organized in the most public part of the land open to the pool area, while the rooms open onto a beautiful consolidated garden with small species that existed on site.
