PI SUNYER HOUSE Cadaqués, Spain // 1999
The color combination created by the slate stone, the main material used in the project, gives character to this home. The sober gray tones is broken by the shades of brown, red and orange to bring warmth to the volume, whose pitched roofs form a set of slopes. This family house is on a rectangular site. The wider side has unobstructed panoramic views over the bay of Cadaqués. The houses linear approach establishes two entrances: one for vehicles at street level and a pedestrian entrance at a higher level. The higher level was designed as a large landscaped area, bordered by a stone wall and a part of the façade of the house. The entrance, located in the center of the first floor, divides the different areas: to the northwest are the bedrooms, whose axis coincides with the living area and to the southeast the kitchen, laundry room and dining room. The linear plan is interrupted by a patio, partly covered with a pergola, including the common area, the porch and a guest room. As an extension of this porch, there is an infinity pool. The distribution of the areas allows the exterior spaces to be differentiated in terms of both size and uses, separated by way of private terraces at different levels in the sleeping area and creating a large courtyard for outdoor activities. On the lower level there is a basement that is used as a garage. Inside, the house may be perceived as both sober and warm, some of the furniture is built-in, for example in the kitchen, bathroom and the library. Plants are a constant element in this project and are incorporated into the house around the boundary of the house. 56 // SINGLE FAMILY DETACHED HOME
