Casa del Acantilado est le nom de cette maison splendide réalisée par Fran Silvestre Arquitectos. Ce projet magnifique a été construit sur une falaise dans la province d’Alicante en Espagne. Un environnement très sobre et élégant à découvrir en images, ainsi qu’avec une vidéo réalisée par Alfonso Calza.
Almost everything that goes on inside this house in Valencia by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos is on show to visitors though a transparent glass facade (+ slideshow).
The L-shaped house is entitled Casa del Atrio, or Atrium House, in reference to the glazed elevation and skylight that bring light into the eastern wing.
A large living/dining room occupies this space and offers residents a view out over the landscape of the Sierra Calderona.
A basement floor is buried just beneath, but emerges on the southern facade to reveal a bedroom, study and gym that open out to a sunken terrace.
Two more bedrooms are located in the northern wing of the ground floor and are screened behind partitions for privacy.
We also recently featured another house by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos: a wedge-shaped building that thrusts out from a rock face.

Here’s a project description from Fran Silvestre Arquitectos:
Casa Del Atrio / Atrium House
Godella, Valencia
A house in a urban area parts of the desire to maximize the feeling of spaciousness.
Two strategies are used. The principal is to release the largest possible in the middle of the site allowing you to enjoy a private space with a height and volume incalculable. It enhances the perimeter of contact with the outside housing, land and housing understood as a continuum. On the other hand uses the existing slope to the ravine next to illuminate the basement, which enables you to host the program.
The building is developed along the southern and western boundaries of the parcel, which together with the elements of urbanization of the site, form a kind of atrium, whose diagonal flight to a distant vision of the Sierra Calderona.
Access is accompanied by the south facade to find the point of intersection. At this point of view inside the distributor is located next to the stairs and the kitchen form the backbone of the operation of housing.
The southern zone where the rooms are available during the day, dematerialized their presence due to the overhead light.
In the west the rooms fall to a portion of parcel with a more domestic scale, while the master bedroom overlooking the lift light reflected on water.
In the dark basement and garage are in the cellar. All other uses of the program look into the ravine through which light up.

This bright white wedge-shaped house by Spanish studio Fran Silvestre Arquitectos thrusts out from the rock face behind it in the valley town of Ayora, near Valencia (+ slideshow).
The angled roof mirrors the slope of the surrounding ground, creating triangular elevations on the sides of the three-storey building.
Large panels slide across windows on the front and side of the house to maintain privacy for bedrooms on the middle floor.
The top floor is twice the size of the floors below and contains a third bedroom, as well as a living room that opens out onto a secluded courtyard.

Here’s some text from the architects:
House on Mountainside Overlooked by Castle
Ayora, Valencia
The building is located in a landscape of unique beauty, the result of a natural and evident growth.
The mountain, topped by a castle, is covered by a blanket housing through a system of aggregation by simple juxtaposition of pieces generated fragmented target tissue that adapts to the topography.
The project proposes to integrate into the environment, respecting their strategies of adaptation to the environment and materials away from the mimesis that would lead to misleading historicism, and showing the time constructively to meet the requirements of the “new people.”
In this way the house is conceived as a piece placed on the ground, joining in the gap.
A piece built on the same white lime, the same primacy of the massif on the opening, which takes the edge of the site to have their holes and integrated into the fragmentation of the environment.
The indoor space is divided by the void that is the core of communication cut parallel disposition of the mountain without touching it.
On the ground floor are the garage and cellar, on a volume it has two floors with four rooms.
Two of them, the rooms at the intermediate level are open to the private street, the other two on the upper level overlook above the houses opposite, the Valley of Ayora.
One of them, the study is opened in turn to the central double height, incorporating it into their space.
Across the gap, and on the mountain, are the areas facing the garden day illuminated by light reflected on the south slope of the castle oxidized.
