This serene Costa Brava retreat is a combination of white, minimalist volumes and expert architectural framing of the surrounding landscape, designed to perfection by Sydney-based studio Mathieson ArchitectsThis timelessly elegant Mediterranean retreat presents an image of white-walled perfection, offering spectacular landscape views from within.
Phillip Mathieson and his team have treated the entire house as a frame, with long areas of glass that confuse the distinction between inside and out, aided by the region’s climate. A deep canopy rings the main deck, creating shade for the interior but further blurring the sense of where the house itself ends and the outside begins.
The house is entered through a large timber door that opens up onto a long vista with the coast set far behind it. The roof canopy is punctured with a number of carefully placed skylights, ensuring that the play of light in the interior is constantly shifting throughout the day as the shadows and sunbeams play across the angles.
