Leppanen Anker Architects has created a new private beach development, which includes 6 private luxury homes, all with panoramic views of the ocean and a private pool. The project also includes 5 buildings with a total of 28 apartments. The intention of this preliminary project is to present a design with modern, welcoming spaces and with visual connection to the natural surroundings.
The conceptual design of the house follows open curves to give a feeling of softness and exponentiate the views of the beach. The house has two floors of program, being the first floor fully open to connect to the pool area and the panoramic view. The house considers the natural light, air and privacy. Each house has large green areas and transparency. The houses have an approximate area of 350m².
The design concept of the apartment buildings uses smooth rotation of the floor plates to maximize the views towards the beach and thus create movement and rhythm that complement the environment. All the apartments have balconies that continue with the forms of the buildings and connect with the communal spaces. It also presents good social spaces and functional adaptations for the good living of the residents.
