The Spanish architecture studio 05 AM Arquitectura, based in Girona, and founded by Joan Arnau and Carme Muñoz, projected this detached house on sloping land, placing it at the highest point of the plot to enjoy the best views of the Costa Brava, looking towards the cove of Sa Riera and the Medes Islands.
05 AM Arquitectura designed a house with visuals that cross the house towards the sea, even from the exterior side of access to the house. The house is organized on a rectangular floor plan with three levels, the main one being the intermediate one.

The set presents a clear with a clear plan of simple and neutral organization to admit variable and adaptable use for future users.
 

Project description by 05 AM Arquitectura

We position the house at the highest point of a sloping plot for it to enjoy the best views, towards Sa Riera cove and Medes Islands.

To achieve this, we stagger the various volumes, positioning the garage and access volume at the lowest level, above which the volume of the main floor is built, which will be the one that will enjoys greatest contact with the garden and the flat terrace above the garage roof; and a third volume located partially on top of the main one.

This volumetric solution will be reinforced by the façade composition, defined by concrete stripes: false imposts detached from the slabs, intentionally thinner and strategically positioned to integrate all the façade elements, contributing to the visual proportion of the various floors’ heights and providing a solution to the façade openings composition, alternating glass and opaque sections of varying material nature.

The façade composition work gives a consistent image to a clear and simply organized floor plan that shall allow a variable and adaptable use to potential users.
