Sunrise, the warmth of the Andalusian sun wakes everyone up. It is just about time to enjoy a Mediterranean breakfast while the morning breeze still blows softly. After that, nothing compares to swimming in an infinity pool and sunbathing until lunch time. At that time, the smell of food grilling in the barbacue comes swiftly from the northern courtyard. Food will be served under the building shadows, hiding from the midday sun. After a customary siesta, a quick trip to the shore will be followed by a work out session and 20 minutes in the sauna to get ready for dinner. Salmorejo, Huelva shrimps and red tuna from Cádiz will delight everyone while the sun sets behind the hills. Later on, the time to grab a drink and dance the night away has come.
Mountain, nature, and sea describe Granada, and that is the place where this unique house is built. It is conceived as an escape from Madrid’s stressful way of living. The owners were looking for a safe haven, in their hometown, to relax away from hustle and bustle of big city life. This Oasis had finally taken place in Nerja and the form of a 1.200 m² holiday residence. The relationship between the concrete platforms and the morphology always enables the best views of the valley in which the house sets. Thus, relax and calm will be the main two characters in the play, as so as the sea will always be the background of this retreat.
