The design of these small 3 semi-detached beach houses calls for a duplicated program, while maintaining privacy from each other, as well as benefiting from outdoor areas and sea views.


The two houses that are located on the ground floor level are mirror images of each other. They are offset in plan to create privacy and to define their respective entrances, and separated by a staircase that leads to the third house, which is located at the higher level and facing to the sea. Cantilevers over these two lower houses frames the view of the sea and provide an extension to the courtyards onto it. The third house enjoys a large roof terrace with direct views to the sea.


Each of the three houses, therefore, enjoys a private outdoor area that is open to the sky; privacy from its neighbour; and extended sea views.
