Sunflower House

El Port de la Selva, Spain

Perched dramatically on the rugged cliffs of the Costa Brava, Sunflower House stands as a geometric masterpiece that redefines the relationship between domesticity and the untamed Mediterranean. Designed by the visionary architects Cadaval & Solà-Morales, the residence is a poetic response to the challenging "Tramuntana" winds and the desire for limitless horizons. Its silhouette, composed of segmented glass cubes, mimics the heliotropic nature of a sunflower, turning its "petals" toward the light to capture every nuance of the sun’s path from dawn until dusk. This unusual property is located a bit more than an hour away by car from Girona, the region capital, and roughly 2 hours away from Barcelona.

The construction process was an exercise in precision, using a high-performance glass skin and a structural system that prioritises transparency without compromising intimacy. Every interior perspective is curated to frame a specific fragment of the sea or the rocky coastline, turning the landscape into a living gallery. This property is more than a coastal villa; it is a sensory experience where the boundaries between the minimalist interior and the cobalt blue of the Mediterranean completely dissolve.

Minimalist

Sunflower House is a premier example of Fractal Minimalism and Solar-Responsive Design. The architecture is defined by ten distinct cubes oriented toward different points of the horizon. This fragmented geometry allows the house to break the force of the northern winds while creating a series of internal courtyards that act as thermal buffers. The use of white continuous surfaces and expansive glazing emphasizes the "Green-and-Blue" contrast typical of the Cap de Creus natural park.
