In order to accommodate the client’s request for a 25-metre-long pool, which extends almost across the entire length of the plot, the majority of the living spaces are housed on an L-shaped upper floor whose shorter side stretches over the pool. An open-plan living and dining room and a separate guest room can be found on the lower level on either side of the pool. This arrangement ensures that the building mass doesn’t “smother” the pool as well as makes space for a large garden and offers expansive views to upper floor rooms. Having to contend with a sloping terrain, the pool juts out of the ground at the entrance courtyard which means that you can swim up to the edge of the property and keep an eye on the entrance courtyard from above.

Despite its simple geometric form and monochromatic white palette, the house is imbued with a subtle complexity thanks to a variety of different latticed wall patterns enveloping the exterior. Providing both shade and privacy, the brick and ceramic latticed surfaces also pay homage to Costa Blanca’s modernist heritage. Adding more nuanced complexity is an assortment of finishes, from matt brick surfaces, satin-finished carpentry and glazed ceramic latticework to stone paving to smooth pebbles, which turn the building’s all-white exterior into a richly textured canvas. As subtly designed are the house’s interiors whose minimalist aesthetic is enriched by the decorative latticed patterns and the verdant views of the surroundings.
