Olarq in Mallorca, Spain

Olarq in Mallorca, Spain

Nestled atop a rugged hill overlooking the breathtaking expanse of the Mediterranean, this house is a testament to architectural harmony with its design seamlessly integrated into the natural topography. Its layout, a graceful fusion of overlapping planes, elegantly conforms to the land's contours. By artfully connecting the upper and lower levels, the floor plan not only invites panoramic views of the sea but also establishes a seamless transition from the dwelling to its surroundings.

 

Bold bands of rough concrete delineate the distinct platforms, emphasizing the interplay between the solid structure and the expansive, unbounded openness of the surrounding spaces.

These architectural elements not only serve as visual anchors but also accentuate the striking contrast between the built environment and the boundless natural landscape, creating a captivating interplay of textures and forms.
