Designed by Núria Selva Villaronga this stunning private home is located in Empordà, Girona, Spain. According to the architects: “A small village, in the Baix Empordà area, formed by a handful of old houses folded along a “U” shaped street the middle of which the square that opens up the view to the church hangs from, and two or three plots, old orchards yet to be build, is the setting for this home´s project. The access, both pedestrian and vehicular, is performed by the north side of the plot.
The ground floor, in fact, unfolds into two levels. The lower level floor that occupies the strip next to the street is accessed from the it with a moderate slope, while the back strip southwards´ oriented, is leveled with the gradient and connects to the garden. The ground floor´s unfolding into two levels has correspondence with its uses: parking in the side of the street, living-room, office and guests´ bedroom, plus some service rooms, in the high slope overlooking the garden. The floor´s inhabitable segment is surrounded on the outside by a porched space covered with brick vaults, which extends it to the garden facing south.
The first floor houses the more private program with a living room- dining room and an open kitchen, also facing a porch excavated from the main volume and terraces, besides three double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
