The house in Begur (Girona, Costa Brava) exemplifies traditional Mediterranean design. Its whitewashed walls and cool, shaded interiors evoke comfort and space, characteristic of mid-20th century buildings. The design seamlessly integrates native vegetation with the outdoor landscape, enhancing the indoor experience. Architects are revisiting these styles in the 21st century, aligning with modern sustainability trends. The house serves as a representation of an ideal Mediterranean living experience, encouraging a desire for summer relaxation amidst natural elements.
The simple though seemingly random series of volumes evokes and gives continuity to an ideal of Mediterranean design which has been highly valued and promoted in much of 20th-century modernism.
Traditional Mediterranean design is enjoying a new wave of interest, as demonstrated by decorative trends and a new emphasis on sustainability.
This house is a prime example of a traditional Mediterranean building at its finest: with its whitewashed walls, traditional roofs, built-in furniture, and native vegetation.
It represents the ideal of Mediterranean design, both past and present, and embodies the home we would like to spend an endless summer.
