Though built on a modest plot, the design of this private house

creates an expansive feel, the cantilevered upper

floor reaching ou

t

towards the light of the Mediterranean. The situation on the corner of

a road leading down to the sea presented a challenge. Gallardo Llopi

Arquitectos have created a house that both embraces and enhances

the views, while also offering privacy on the ground floor

.

The upper floor shades and shields the ground floor open living-

dining-kitchen space. Through the intelligent use of Flos lighting, Vitr

and Flexform furniture and moveable panels by Placo, this area can b

fines both the structure and the furnishings, with under-lit

island units complemented by a sleek GROHE faucet in the kitchen

and GROHE Essence New faucets in the bathrooms. Floating whit

stairs lead to the upper level, where the glass-fronted terrace over

The monolithic building in fact sits lightly on its modest plot, the design cleverly conceived to create a space full of light which feels utterly unconstricted. White furnishings and the

floating white stairs to the

upper floor add to the expansive atmosphere of the interior.
