 This incredible 5 Bdr. 5 1/2 Baths,arabian style, beach front residence with espectacular views of the Banderas Bay from each room, includes cleaning service and a cook.
Villa Salamandra is a baroque-maritime house, optimistic and delicate. It is feminine because it was made with sensual sensitivity, in a framework of serenity. It has several bedrooms for family and guests, a studio, living room and dining room. The outside recreation and service areas, terraces, passageways and pool were resolved with volumetric and spatial autonomy. Therefore, the complex is the sum of the parts or of the functional individualities. It is a little big world of shapes, which achieve “unity in diversity” among themselves, an esthetic principle which I have always defended.
This spectacular location uses roof space to its' fullest, enjoying them like stone gardens and terrace-miradores in to their maximum. Therefore, its richness in the design of shapes, parapets, connecting bridges and stairways, in the style of the geometrism of Vasarely, as can be appreciated in the stairway of the façade facing the sea. It goes from the exterior, penetrating the curved vertical wall of the façade, so as to introduce itself into the interior of the main hall.
The lejanismo of these forms comes from its “baroque intention,” in the emotive inspiration of the light, of the “white on white.” It comes from the impressionistic recollections of paintings such as Cosiendo la vela, La siesta and El paseo a la orilla del mar by Joaquín Sorolla, where the painting of white on white, the lights and absences, give the sensation of the warmth of the mornings and summertime evenings on the beaches of Valencia. These emotions have made me think that beach architecture, so committed to temperature, could express, in different ways, the impression of the skin recalled in terms of heat. |
