curved house's sinuous facade traces mountainous terrain in spain
Briefly

The Curved House in Altea by Ramón Gandía Brull SLP - RGB Arquitectos features a distinctive curved design that aligns with the sloped terrain. Positioned at the upper part of a mountainous residential area, the house's exterior minimizes visual impact from the street. The residence has three functional levels: a basement for service areas, a first floor with bedrooms and amenities, and an upper floor with living spaces and a pool. Large cantilevered terraces enhance outdoor spaces while the material palette reflects regional architecture and climate considerations.
