THE ISLAND 

Murcia, 2014

+++

​

This house is located in Beniajan, in the Murcian orchard, at the foot of Sierra de Carrascoy that enclose Segura River valley in the south.

​

The program adapts itself to the measure of some spatial dislocations and cuts in a white body,  that become more opaque towards surrounding neighborhood and transparent when oriented to the mountains in the south.

​

This body presents different frames to the landscape where is convenient.

​

Intercommunication between different parts of the house are produced from an interior space that houses some armchairs, one kitchen bar and a dining table with chairs. From here, someone can lean out to the gym space in a lower floor, or being seen from the gallery that give access to the bedrooms above.

​

East wing of the house is occupied by bedrooms, whose volumes interrupt the curtain wall facade; the main bedroom in the ground floor and children bedrooms above. The main bedroom is open and leads to a swimming  pool with jacuzzi. This swimming pool is animated with a waterfall that comes from the upper side of the glass in front of the main bathroom.

Finally a garage and a gym in the basement complete the program.
