Seaside splendor: Hoffmann House's glass-walled design

Located near Valencia, overlooking the sea, Hoffman House is a project crafted by harnessing the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. External glass walls are ingeniously shielded by a cantilevered structure, establishing it as the focal point of the design

Villa in harmony with landscape

Fran Silvestre Arquitectos studio designed Hoffman House in accordance with the principles of landscape-integrated architecture, seamlessly merging it with its surroundings. The terrain is surrounded by gardens and they are embedded in the high and elongated plot of the villa with a distant view of the sea. Three elements make up the project. A roof extruded in the longitudinal direction of the ground with a "T" shape, which constitutes the structure under which the inhabited space is located. This geometry makes it possible to enjoy the sea while protecting you from prying eyes

Roof structure optimizing sunlight

Simultaneously the structure helps to control the southern sun during the summer and lets it pass in winter. The walk-on roof becomes the lookout point of the house that has the most surface area

Minimalist furniture for maximum space

The coastal villa design prioritizes minimalist yet functional furniture elements, strategically placed to optimize space utilization while ensuring privacy and facilitating circulation. The main room, under the cantilevered shade is arranged in continuity with the outside. The interior furniture includes the pieces of the bathroom and also serves to limit the scale of the night areas while the study opens at the corner of the house with the best views

Harmonizing design with nature

These two characteristic elements, the roof and the furniture, are " placed " on the base of the stone, in which the mirror of water is also excavated, giving rise to the third element. These spaces adapt to the natural irregularities that exist in the plot
