Location: El Catllar (Tarragona)
Area: 180 m²
Project: 2024
Status: Under construction.

The home is entirely on one level, with a design that plays visually and functionally with two clearly distinct volumes: one for the living area and the other for the sleeping area. Both volumes are connected by outdoor spaces and covered areas, creating an interesting interplay between the interior and exterior.
Distribution and Regions
The first level is dedicated to the living area, which includes the living room, dining room, and kitchen. This space opens completely to the outdoors through large windows that provide a direct connection to the garden and the pool.
The feeling of openness is enhanced by a pergola that extends the living space onto an outdoor terrace, ideal for al fresco dining or relaxing. The pergola is also adorned with greenery, providing shade and a cool atmosphere to the outdoor area.
The second volume houses the sleeping area, where the bedrooms are located. This section is designed to offer privacy and tranquility, with views of the garden, while maintaining privacy thanks to the curtains and the layout, which faces the quietest part of the lot.
Materials and Facade
The home’s facade is clad in natural stone, giving it a sense of sturdiness and elegance. This material not only lends the home a sophisticated look but also connects it to the natural surroundings, blending harmoniously into the landscape.
Natural stone also helps regulate the building’s temperature, providing a sustainable and durable solution.
Volume and Structure
The two buildings stand out for their simple yet elegant geometry. Clean, straight lines characterize the structure, maintaining a modern and minimalist design. The contrast between the different finishes—such as natural stone and wood—creates a visual harmony that complements the surrounding natural environment.
Outdoor spaces
The pool, located between the two structures, serves as a central axis that visually connects the different areas of the home. The design creates a seamless relationship between the water, the garden, and the outdoor living areas.
The garden reinforces the sense of continuity between the interior and the exterior.
The outdoor terrace features a shaded area provided by the pergola covered in greenery—a perfect spot to relax or eat outdoors, sheltered from direct sunlight.
Lighting
Decorative lighting highlights the home’s spatial volumes and accentuates the contrast between the natural stone and the glass surfaces. Warm lighting both inside and outside creates a welcoming atmosphere and highlights the architectural details.
Conclusion
This project stands out for its elegant simplicity, the use of high-quality materials such as natural stone, and a clear distinction between day and night spaces. The home offers a perfect balance between functionality, aesthetics, and comfort, with a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces.
