On a rather complex plot—on a corner, with level differences of more than three meters and set back from the sea, although (as we guessed) still visible between the hills—I asked our clients:

“What do you expect from your future home?”

“We want to see the sea.”

This was the foundation on which the house was built.

After several on-site studies and large-scale plans, we were able to determine the ideal position for the house, as well as the need to build higher, the exact placement of the windows, their shapes, and angles. Together with the program requirements, site characteristics, regulations, and light study, these were the ingredients that defined the house’s distinctive form.

The layout is developed in a fully functional way: two prisms—one for the entrance, with a corridor giving access to stairs, bathrooms, and bedrooms; and another housing the kitchen, dining room, and living area. The kitchen, dining, and living areas open to the south, leading to a terrace with a pool, with sea views to the east, sun to the south, and Mojácar with its mountain to the west.

The three corner windows, corresponding to the bedrooms, are oriented east and south to capture sunlight and sea views. The north side is reserved for stairs and bathrooms. From every interior perspective, a window has been placed at the end of each space, not to cut off the views but to extend them beyond the house.

Finally, the garage and a small guest apartment are located below. The result is a home tailored to our clients—functional, adapted to the environment and the plot, full of natural light and ventilation—seeking to integrate with and respect Mojácar’s characteristic fragmented architecture, while also presenting a modern and forward-looking image of it.
