Underground House in Spain by Hidalgo Hartmann Architects


This unique, almost underground house in Vall de Bianya, La Garrotxa in Spain was designed by Hidalgo Hartmann Architects with a spirit of freedom and a connection to nature. The home sits at the heart of an agricultural valley, surrounded by mountains – two very influential factors when it comes to the house contemporary design. The structure sinks right into the earth, with strategically placed windows and doorways framing the carefully chosen views. A cool, concrete facade encloses a completely contradictory, contemporary interior that highlights the designer’s affinity for modern finishes and minimalist details. A living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms, a powder room and laundry area are separated from the master bedroom by a patio. A large window in the home studio offers views of the landscape, while adjacent is a ramp that leads residents and visitors down to the home's covert entranceway.
