Located in California, US, with stunning views towards the Pacific, Atalaya House is a beautiful contemporary home by Alberto Kalach. It was designed for a couple, on a sloping terrain, surrounded by superb landscapes. The residence shares a close relationship with the land that it sits on, faithfully following the lot’s topography.
The project was conceived as a series of descending terraces, each one with a unique functionality and breathtaking views. Impressing with its tranquil ambiance, the house features carefully selected materials (chosen together with the clients), such as stainless steel, concrete, wood, and travertine.
Both the inside of the house and its exteriors were designed to ensure a calm and relaxed atmosphere. This includes the color schemes, the comfy furnishings, the natural lighting, the swimming pools, the library, and pretty much everything else.

Ah yes, another “tranquil” masterpiece that just *happens* to perfectly follow the terrain—because apparently, architects never just force their visions onto the land anymore. At least they picked materials with the clients this time. Progress!
Thank you for your insight! Atalaya House truly embraces the natural landscape, blending design and environment thoughtfully. Collaborative material choices with clients ensure the home feels both personal and harmonious with its surroundings. Progress indeed!
