Elliptical House is the result of an idea. It is based on a

geometric shape and a volume sculpted by the landscape.

A balance was sought between fullness and emptiness, weight and

airiness, light and shade, or, the object and its image. It is a

relationship between the real and the imagined, between physical and

virtual spaces.

With its elliptical base, the house is deliberately sculptural and

organic. It is shaped by the wind and the sea that wants to embrace

the wide floating oval which subtly delimits the central patio of

the house.

It is important to establish a subtle connection with the house next

to it, to the east. A contemporary, dynamic balance was reached, and

the same intense white is used in practically all the houses on this

gentle, sunny slope.

It is in this ambience that the house should be experienced, without

being aware of where the house begins and ends. The fluidity and

lightness of its organic design reflects natural shapes, thus

defining the house architecturally in its natural setting. And that

is the intention for when the building work is completed.
