Residence in the Mediterranean

Located on a picturesque hillside in Tamariu, overlooking the majestic Mediterranean, this residence, designed by 05AM Arquitectura, stands on a steeply sloping plot along the coast of Girona, in northeastern Spain, near the French border. This two-storey home has been carefully oriented towards the south to maximize panoramic views, natural light, and to foster a lifestyle connected with the surrounding outdoor environment.

The architectural design is a synthesis of elegance and functionality, utilizing the site’s resources to their fullest. The white façade, traditional in the Mediterranean context, reflects the brightness of the landscape, while the prominent use of chestnut wood, both indoors and outdoors, adds warmth and texture. This noble material not only enriches the interior aesthetic but also plays a crucial structural role, with exposed beams that stand out as key architectural and structural elements. These beams are perfectly adapted to meet load-bearing requirements, formal stability, and aesthetic appeal.

The house not only integrates seamlessly with the hillside but also respects the natural surroundings, capitalizing on uninterrupted views of the Mediterranean and promoting an outdoor lifestyle in perfect harmony with the coastal environment.
