The shape of this beach house constitutes of two separate volumes, one on top of the other in an 80 degree angle. The ambition was to create interior and exterior spaces with different views over the open sea to the west, the sheltered bay to the south, and the green fields to the east. The concept is a box that is cut, opened and adapted to the surrounding landscape.
In plan this solution creates a plus “+” shape with terraces towards all directions, where you can reach the roof terraces from the upper level and the sheltered terraces from the lower level. This composition creates equal amount of interior and exterior space, with the experience of a much larger house than the actual 150 sqm.
