enric ruiz geli: villa nurbs, empuriabrava

'villa nurbs' is a private residence developed by spanish architect enric ruiz geli
in collaboration with artist frederic amat and ceramist toni cumella. the space age
designed family house is located in empuriabrava (costa brava), spain and consists
of wavelike ceramic plates which are used against solar radiation. the plates for
the north wall of this building were produced using digitally cut moulds.
when the house is seen from above it looks like the eyes of an insect.
