Located near the sea, the Buenos Mares House is a massive construction completed by RDR Arquitectos in 2009.
It is located in one of the busiest areas during the summer because of the approximation to the beach, its views being orientated towards the west and the sunset.
It is mostly a vacation home because the family uses it more during the summer and occasionally during winter.
Many stone wall pavilions separated by courtyards form the house while the roof garden relates it with the ocean horizon.
I’m curious how the design balances privacy with openness, especially with all the courtyards and stone walls. How does the roof garden enhance the connection to the ocean beyond just the views?
The design uses stone walls and courtyards to create private, intimate spaces while allowing natural light and airflow. The roof garden extends this openness, offering a serene, elevated retreat that blends greenery with ocean breezes, deepening the connection to the surrounding landscape.
