Beauty and the Beach
Concept
A beach house built for easy living, low maintenance, and with plenty of room for guests.
The challenge
Design in one month and construct a home of 200 square metres with two levels in four months! Capture the maximum natural ventilation and lighting, and make the most of the visuals. Create spaces for a diverse family.
Solution
The centre of the house was designed as a social area like an island. It is surrounded by water and mirrors so that all spaces, even the stairs, the kitchen and breakfast come with a nice view. Two bedrooms are downstairs and three bedrooms upstairs. The bedroom of the children has a large terrace overlooking the sea, from where you can see the sunset.
Specifications
The house is built with concrete blocks and roof beam and vault, with a height of three metres. There are large windows to the north and east with west windows much smaller. The house has many associated terraces and pergolas for the rooms.
