Casa Sorel: Horizonte Mediterráneo

On the Costa Blanca (Alicante) we find Casa Sorel. This house sits on a sloping plot that descends towards the sea.

The project takes advantage of the topographical condition of the plot to deploy a horizontal, light architecture that is perfectly integrated into the landscape.

The house is conceived as a set of three recessed volumes that create habitable terraces and ample shaded areas, emphasizing the constant relationship between interior and exterior. The rhythm of the planes, the purity of the lines, and the formal restraint convey an essentially Mediterranean calm, where the architecture merges with the surrounding nature and extends its views towards the horizon.

The identity of Casa Sorel is built upon a delicate dialogue between textures and nuances. The walls share vibrant, organic-looking finishes, acting like a skin that breathes with the light, transforming throughout the day.

Facing them, planes of natural stone anchor the house to the land, establishing a strong connection with the geography of the Mediterranean coast.
The interior is enveloped in a serene atmosphere where wood provides warmth and a more intimate character, softening the overall presence. The continuous sand-toned flooring creates a seamless and uniform surface that accompanies the transition between rooms and extends the space outdoors.

The experience of living in Casa Sorel is organized through a sequence of open and serene spaces, where each room maintains a direct link with the outside.

The main living room acts as the heart of the home, extending out onto the terrace and infinity pool. Its large windows frame the views and allow Mediterranean light to flood every corner, while the furniture, arranged in a dual orientation, invites both intimate gatherings and contemplation of the landscape.

The kitchen is conceived as a central hub for community life: a stunning space that connects seamlessly with the interior dining room and the exterior porch. This continuity reinforces the idea of ​​living both indoors and outdoors without interruption, where daily activities blend naturally into outdoor living.

En paralelo, los patios y retranqueos aportan frescor, ventilación cruzada y rincones de calma donde la vegetación autóctona cobra protagonismo. Este diálogo entre arquitectura y naturaleza confiere a la vivienda una atmósfera introspectiva, pensada para habitar con un ritmo pausado y consciente.

At Casa Sorel, spaces are not imposed, they are offered: open, fluid and harmonious, designed to enjoy the serenity of the Mediterranean from a contemporary and timeless perspective.
