Alcala 15

Alcalá 15 sits on a uniquely shaped plot with dual street access and significant elevation changes. From the outset, the design responded to the existing mature vegetation and complex topography. The villa unfolds across multiple levels, organised around light-filled patios and defined by rich materiality. Every element is designed to frame views, create intimacy and establish continuity with nature.

The site posed multiple challenges: a narrow, sloped terrain with limited views from the top due to towering pine trees. The task was to reconcile vehicle and pedestrian access while enhancing the experience of nature and sea views.

The home was placed at an intermediate elevation to preserve sea views and avoid visual obstruction from the trees. Access was resolved through a landscaped descent from the upper street, culminating in a contemplative rooftop terrace. The house unfolds around patios that respect the existing pines, ensuring natural light, cross-ventilation, and intimacy. At the heart of the villa, the kitchen connects seamlessly with social areas and outdoor spaces, creating fluid transitions. A generous roof overhang shades the pool, while the double-height volume of the social area enhances the home’s spatial richness.
