The project was born from the idea of taking advantage of the unique topographical condition of the house. The aim was to make it a single-story building with a clear and unobstructed view of the sea. In order to achieve this, the house was designed to be isolated from the larger houses on the sides and to turn inward, into a patio of abundant greenery. Here, the bedrooms open up onto a peaceful and relaxing space that provides the perfect retreat from citylife - which was the client request for this project. The green mountain in the back of the house only adds to the feeling of tranquility and calmness that the house exudes.
Those who come from the sea hardly notice the volume of the Patios House at the foot of a verdant mountain. The thin slab that divides the green from the sand shelters an almost invisible house, dissolved in the landscape. Two wide and low volumes sit on the elongated plot, mediated by a lush patio. The front one opens itself towards the horizon, framing sea and sky from the inside. With window frames that completely open the living room, the pool terrace and the inner patio are integrated - allowing a barefoot living experience. Rooted on the ground, and searching for the horizon, Patios House creates a joyful experience for the senses, where textures and shapes blends perfectly with the salty sea breeze and the garden’s earthy smell.
The house is completely permeable to light and natural ventilation. Each bedroom has its own patio that brings light and flowing air to every bathroom. The clean and neat lines of the house reserves in its materiality a space to imperfection, creating atmospheres that values what is simple and natural. Besides the eucalyptus shutters, other plans add on a rustic and tactile feeling, as the raw brick walls that delimits the house on its sides and the exposed aggregate concrete flooring.

Those who come from the sea hardly notice the volume of the Patios House at the foot of a verdant mountain. The thin slab that divides the green from the sand shelters an almost invisible house, dissolved in the landscape.
Two wide and low volumes sit on the elongated plot, mediated by a lush patio. The front one opens itself towards the horizon, framing sea and sky from the inside. With window frames that completely open the living room, the pool terrace and the inner patio are integrated - allowing a barefoot living experience. Kitchen and TV room are contained in a box enveloped by an eucalyptus shutter.
This same material closes the back volume, allowing the filtered passage of natural light to the five suites. Each one of them has its own patio that brings light and flowing air to every bathroom.

The precise selection of furniture pieces also searches for balance between sharp and cozy by combining different shapes and temperatures. A mixture of rustic elements, soft surfaces, natural and textured materials together with sharp, clean and minimal design pieces evoques a tropical interpretation of modernism.
