L'Ametlla House by Mirag

This wild contemporary home appears small and simple from the street, where passers by may never know its private appeal. The L’Ametlla House by Mirag appears to be a wall and a window from the street, with only a curvy roof line to suggest that there’s something special within. L’Ametlla House features a tall, two-story open expanse that peers into a pine forest in the rolling hills beyond. A large, concrete patio with terraced gardens climb down the sloping plot, giving the home’s occupants a place to stroll and relax in a private space unseen from the street. Indoors, contemporary fixtures meet vintage furnishings that create a comfortable-yet-cool living space. It’s a visual treat to those who enter at street level, unaware of the sculptural marvel that awaits inside. [architect: mirag photography: jordi surroca via: designboom]
