Villa Paraíso Alto

Contemporary lines and tiled eaves: a white house looking over the valley from its raised garden.

Villa Paraíso Alto combines a contemporary language of white volumes and large openings with elements of Mediterranean architecture: clay-tiled eaves, a porch with exposed timber beams and a natural stone wall accompanying the way in.

Type: Detached private house
Status: Built
Area: Costa del Sol
Studio: Bóveda Arquitectura

View from the terrace of Villa Paraíso Alto over the pool and the landscape

The house sits on a raised garden held by a masonry wall, and from the upper terraces the view opens over the pool and the landscape to the horizon. The porch extends the living room outwards and works as one more room, sheltered from the sun.

Inside, living, dining and kitchen share a single space open to the garden, with warm timber flooring set against white walls and dark kitchen joinery. The bathrooms introduce the only graphic gesture in the house, with black and white geometric finishes.
