Our architecture office in Sitges, designed a modern family villa on a 900 m² plot in the Vinyet neighborhood, a peaceful residential area near the coastal town of Sitges, Barcelona. The flat plot is ideally situated on a quiet street, offering the perfect setting for a family home with a focus on maximizing outdoor living spaces, particularly the south-facing garden and swimming pool.

The design concept for this villa is centered around creating a series of mid-levels that gently emerge from the ground as a solid, opaque ensemble that becomes more transparent as it rises above ground level. These bodies are oriented creating a view into the garden, with large concrete overhangs that offer shelter and protect the interior from excess sunlight, allowing lighting but not heat to enter.
The residential design of the home is distributed over two levels, with the lower level serving as the main access point from the outside. The lower floor includes most of the daytime living areas, all of which open directly onto spacious outdoor terraces and the swimming pool area. In addition to the main living spaces, the design includes a separate guest room located on the ground level, offering privacy and discretion for visiting guests.
The exterior of the villa is designed to feel like a fortress from the street, ensuring privacy and shielding the home from prying eyes. The strategic use of interior courtyards allows natural light and fresh air to penetrate the lower floors, bringing nature inside while maintaining seclusion. Large landscaped terraces provide beautiful outdoor spaces for relaxation and entertainment and minimizes the cost and environmental impact of earth movements during construction.
