sotogrande, cadiz
The villa is conceived as the superimposition of two clearly distinct volumes: a completely open and transparent base, and a more solid upper section, which appears to rest lightly upon the lower level. This contrast between mass and transparency defines the architectural identity of the project. The villa sits on a 2,707 m² plot, with a total built area of 995 m² spread over four floors, comprising four bedrooms, four bathrooms and three toilets. The ground floor is designed as a continuous space, without visual interruptions, where the glazed walls disappear to fully integrate the interior with the terrace and the pool. The infinity pool thus becomes a natural extension of the house, taking centre stage as the dominant feature and reflecting the architecture. The upper volume, more compact and sheltered, houses the private areas and opens up through large, strategically framed openings, creating controlled views and adding depth to the façade. The interplay of horizontal planes and perimeter frames reinforces the geometry of the whole and conveys a sense of order and precision. As a whole, the house is not understood as a sum of spaces, but as a balanced composition where every element—volume, material, light and water—forms part of the same architectural concept.
