located near the spanish coastal city of alicante, ‘sardinera house’ is positioned at the top of a steep incline overlooking the mediterranean sea. designed by ramon esteve estudio, the dwelling is formed of cantilevered white concrete volumes that present sweeping views across the picturesque landscape.

the texture produced by the print of the timber formwork is noticeable on of the concrete surfaces, thus establishing a common language with the white-shaded timber used inside the property. the ground floor contains the home’s primary living accommodation, where views of the sea are framed with floor-to-ceiling glazing. this area spills out onto an expansive patio, which features an angular infinity pool.

inside the home, at basement level, an indoor pool shares a visual connection with the outdoor version through a longitudinal window which casts internal shadows. at the upper level of the plan, each volume contains a bedroom with a small glass balcony providing views towards the horizon.
