El Mar de Encinas

This house unique design is the result of our respect for the existing oaks and the lot’s peculiar characteristics which influenced the construction of one of the two pieces as a stilt house on a highly resistant granite rock, which flies over the terrain and lets it breathe. In order to support the structure, special drilling machines with diamond disks were used to perforate in the exact place. This piece is home to the sitting room and there is a stair to gain access to the roof top swimming pool. It links with the other piece by a crystal clear passage. The house takes over the surroundings and they can be ejoyed from all angles.

The house does not relate to the environment but takes over it because it visualizes it from all angles. Our client was very interested in differentiating the areas for public use and private areas. Thus, the living room, kitchen and swimming pool were located on the upper floor and the bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor.
