The rising sun reveals the majestic ocean, turquoise at its edges
shading to deep cobalt blue near the horizon, which is the inspiration
for this house. Its generous proportions and clearly defined lines, large
windows and solid walls light up its surroundings. This generates a
feeling of coolness and peace while at the same time inviting the visitor
to enjoy its best asset, which is the natural setting for this house.
The precision of its contemporary internal layout, with repeated
use of the rectangle, gives this property a sense of youthfulness.
Nevertheless the attention to detail given to the way that the spaces
are divided up retains the romance and intimacy you often find in
beach houses. The house is decorated in ways that are redolent
of the very essence of nature, with modern furniture, curved lines
shades of blue and small vases in warm tones, which in an abstract
way resonate with the seascape that surrounds it.
The lush greens of tropical vegetation also play their part, used in the
kitchen and the bedrooms to convey a fresh, rustic atmosphere, and
creating a focus for these rooms, as an artist would use a canvas to
express his vision. The bright, well-proportioned hallway, hung with
a series of paintings in shades of terracotta and ochre, manages to
create the feeling of a sunset in abstract.
The exterior of the house conveys a softer approach, imitating the
curves of the coast. The sand colored terrace shows off a pool tiled
in shades of blue, whose curved lines draw your eye to the horizon.
The curves and undulations of this swimming pool imitate the waves
of the sea and bring to mind in subtle ways the architecture of Gaudí
and his interpretation of nature.
Ideal for relaxation, this house flirts with the visitor, anxious to show off
its secluded, romantic nooks, surrounded by the trees and heliconias
that lend their color to the location. By night, the depth of the darkness
is pierced by the illumination that lights up the pathways around the
house. All is quiet except for the eternal beat of the surf and the sighing
of the wind. The scientist Pascal was right when he said, “nature’s
perfection shows us an image of God”. Just being here |
