To frame or to dialogue with the landscape, even to emphasize it are some of the mechanisms that can be used when the project is located in a really idyllic environment. And, certainly, in this project, Ramon Esteve Estudio takes advantage of them. Lightness and tectonic and the game with the horizon are other concepts that do this project perceives so beauty.

Descripción del proyecto por Ramón Esteve Estudio
This unique home is located on top of a hill that down to the Mediterranean Sea on Costa Blanca. The place, located in front of a beautiful cove, has sweeping sea views, which motivates the use of large concrete walls that shoot in different directions.
The picture is framed between the architecture and the pool water, which is silhouetted against the horizon. One of its most exciting peculiarities is the long porch overhangs, which by their construction system, are embedded within the walls instead of resting on them, achieving a visual effect that approaches the impossible. The house has expressive materiality through the use of rough finishes such as concrete and bleached wood. The combined materials are employed in shades of white, looking for warmth. The formal abstraction is combined with earthy materiality in a subtle play of contrasts.

Ramón Esteve. Ramón Esteve Estudio
Ramón Esteve. In 1991, Ramón Esteve founded the studio with the certainty that architecture was a global discipline. Since then, we have been building a professional team united by the search of a common objective, generating design solutions to unique spaces, objects and brands. Today, the studio is a place where architects, designers and creatives work together to develop signature projects.
Architecture and design are complementary disciplines for us that enrich one another and in some way, are inseparable. They begin every project by investigating all its design and architectural parameters with the aim of achieving a result that produces the maximum levels of clarity, simplicity, consistency and harmony.
