LADAA created this modern residence in 2013 for a client living in Sagunto, Valencia, Spain.
The exterior was intentionally designed to appear understated and minimal, while the interior was designed to feel luxurious and spacious. The building consists of four interconnected volumes each with a different height, thus reaching for the maximum integration with the topography of the surrounding area and a natural decomposition of the requirement program.
Access to the house is through a two-story volume that opens to the north by a concrete canopy that serves as outside parking and to the south the views with the lobby and a library on the top floor. This part serves as the hinge between the Day area and the Night area. The Day zones are divided into two volumes with one story each. One for the kitchen and the service area, and one for the living room. Inside, the transition between one volume and the next is solved with small steps, which solves the height difference the volumes present externally, in a natural way.
