Casa En Playa Blanca (A house looking at the ocean)

Front facade

The designer on zoning

"The starting point to the project was the zoning analysis.

We came up with a broad defining frame for the design by studying all the parameters and regulations established by the local condominium: regarding maximum area, number of floors and use of space.

Facing the beach, on the ground floor is the parking lot. Beyond which extend two floors and a terrace on the third floor. To maintain fluidity and ample viewing of the ocean, the family spaces (bedrooms, bathrooms and family room) are located on the first floor while social areas reside on the second and third floors."

Third floor includes a huge terrace with an exterior living room and a swimming pool

A large square opening in the facade facing the ocean is an important feature of the design. It primarily acts as an eye looking at the ocean. Beyond that, the spaces that are generally frequented by family and friends of the owners (i.e. the master bedroom, kitchen etc) are also placed close to this feature.
