“The starting point for this minimalist house was to create an optimal relationship between inside and outside. The functions are emphasised by means of the minimalist frames and provide a ‘display’ from outside. Conversely, the frames also frame the view into the garden, so that the inside and outside completely blend into one another.

As a wink in the house, the client’s favourite car is central. Not only figuratively but also literally in the space. Through a glass box with a pronounced interior and lighting plan, the car forms a room divider between the living room, kitchen and master bedroom.

This modern tropical villa is a perfect combination of contemporary architecture combined with natural lines formed by materials as French oak structural beams and natural stone walls.

STATE has created an open floor plan, creating spectacular views over the Spanish water from virtually every room in the villa. The uniquely formed infinity edge swimming pool creates a flawless transition from the various living areas into nature.

Apart from the modern/tropical architecture, the house is fully operable from an ipad due to the fully integrated domotica electrical installation.
