Valencia-based architecture practice Fran Silvestre Arquitectos has released images for a new private residence in a PGA golf course of Caldes de Malavella, Girona, Spain. 

Called House In The Lake, the house proposes the best views over the place where it is set within the natural environment. The studio is best known for its use of expressive solid-void relationships, and in this house, the architects only used two volumes to search for different spatial qualities and uses, by proposing edgy and flat facade and pure mass arrangement.

The project is solved by means of two extruded spaces, two overlapping volumes, in which the upper one moves towards the lake in front, giving as a result a cantilever that aims to generate a great shaded terrace.

"Two elements that define a single project, in which we appreciate facades of great dynamism generated by different openings in them, that allow for a comfortable reading of the building," said Fran Silvestre Arquitectos.

In the interior space, the ground floor is distributed in two areas divided by the staircase, positioned perpendicularly to the volumes, with a double-height and in charge of separating the service spaces from the noble ones. Nevertheless, in the upper floor the staircase stays at the back and the rest of the rooms are allocated so that they all face the golf course.
