969 Architects have designed a house in Estepona, in a tourist resort on the Costa del Sol in Málaga, Spain. A house characterized by a good swimming pool in which you can really swim, an element that responds to the healthy lifestyle of its inhabitants, which also allows generating an interesting interior limit thanks to its elongated sheet of water.

Villa Guadalmina is intended to represent the particularities and characteristics of the Costa del Sol, with a simple design connected with the surrounding nature and built with natural materials.
The house designed by 969 Arquitectos is formally composed of the main volume that rests on two porches. This space has been designed for night-time use, which is why wood is used inside, to provide warmth and intimacy, being the counterpart to the predominantly white color, which is reminiscent of the Mediterranean.

This volume raised above the two porticoes generates spaces that are used to create double heights on the ground floor where the living room and dining room are located. Access is via a portico made of a white slab.

The architectural studio has implemented the "Passivhaus" philosophy and uses a SATE insulation system to create the highest energy efficiency. The ventilation system is double flow, which together with an air conditioning system with aerothermal and solar hot water collectors guarantees maximum energy certification.

Description of project by 969 Arquitectos

House and pool are combined in an exclusive design with a zero energy concept. This project materializes a lifestyle linked to sports and health in a house adapted as a suit tailored to its inhabitants. From the simple design of a clear volume over a swimming pool to the natural materials, the house breathes the natural environment of this Costa del Sol area with maximum energy efficiency.

The house is composed with a volume supported by two box pieces. This main volume houses supports the night uses, which is why wood is used as the skin, to give it´s interior warmth and intimacy, highlighting it over the white set, which seeks Mediterranean reminiscences.

The house plays with the spaces that releases this high volume, generating double heights in the lower ground floor space occupied by the living and dining rooms. The access is produced through a portico that is built with a fine white slab that includes the entrance area and a parking space.

The interior design plays with natural materials such as lime mortar, natural wood, stones and fabrics, always seeking to convey a conjunction with Mediterranean nature. Never lacking in a certain level of sophistication.

The house is built with Passivhaus philosophy using an envelope with an ETICS insulation system and therefore guaranteeing the absence of thermal bridges, the high performance windows guarantees the sealing of the façade. The double-flow ventilation system with recovery energy its efficiency, which, together with high-efficiency air conditioning, with aerothermal energy and hot water solar pannels, guarantee the maximum energy classification.
