The calm luxury of a house in front of the sea in Santiago de la Ribera: wood, stone and an infinite pool to break limits

MURCIA. Calm luxury. Is what this transmits housing project In the front line in Santiago de la Ribera which has been conceived by the Murcian study Llanes_Granados Architects. Because it is a house that aspires to melt with the sea and with the surrounding environment, where the warmth and the nobility of the wood contrasts with the firmness and sobriety of the stone in an elegant balance and where the sculptural volumes give way to interiors of simple lines that instill serenity.

“This house transcends the notion of mere construction to become A reflection on living. It is an architecture that does not impose, but integrates; that does not seek prominence in the environment, but resonance with it, “they point out from Llanes_Granados architects, which highlight how” the volumetric composition – limpia, precise, but deeply poetic – articulates space as an experience, where each line and each material become a dialogue between the human and the natural“.

Thus, these Murcia professionals explain that the upper volume of the house, whose constraint will begin soon, is covered in Warm wood “Not only as an aesthetic choice, also as an evocation of the primitive, of the essential shelter. Its form, which reminds of an archetypal house, floats on the ground floor as if challenging gravity, inviting to think about the balance between the solid and the light, between the rational and the intuitive.”

They also add from the study that the volume covered in wood, with a two waters cover reinterpreted in a minimalist way, provides a distinctive character to the set, remembering the typology of a modern cabin that floats on the ground floor thanks to its pronounced cantilever.

The habitable horizon

These Murcia professionals spoke of poetry in architecture. And, certainly, it is what is created with the radical opening of the house to the outside thanks to large windows that “dissolve the limits and make the interior space an extension of the landscape. It is here where the infinite swimming poolnot only as an leisure resource, but as a metaphor of the habitable horizon: a sheet of water that visually melts with the limit of the terrain, Opening the house towards the infinite. It reflects heaven, architectural volume and life itself, in a permanent invitation to contemplation. “

It is also worth highlighting the role that vegetation plays, carefully arranged in living walls and pergolas, which not only decorates, “but actively participates in the creation of an exciting microclimate.

“Architecture, thus understood, is not an object, but an atmosphere; it is not a formal answer, but an open question about how we inhabit time, matter and light,” they say in Llanes_granados, who add this philosophical reflection to a house that looks at the sea and writes verses.
