I'm home

Spanish architect Joan Lao handled over 3,000 projects in the United States, Dubai and South America. He lives with his wife LINA and his daughter Afrika in the house located along the beach of the village Gava, which is far south from the center of Barcelona. He himself handled everything like the architecture, interior design and designing the furniture. It is an attractive location as the beach spreads beyond the narrow road on the south side of the flat 1,000m2 land plot. As you enter the entrance gate, you will see a beautiful swimming pool, and in the back, the Spanish colonial style building arranged in a modern sensibility stands with symmetrical windows on the left and right sides. The entrance door is 7m. Joan designed the house to be in a high position so that one can fully enjoy the ocean view from the large living room and the dining room on the 1st floor. The staircase on the north side is designed to be the backbone of the house and is plastered with maple colored limestone. Once you go up this staircase, there is a master bedroom and also a lounge space on the 2nd floor where you can relax with a view of the ocean. On the south side of the 3rd floor, is Afrika's bedroom and the terrace was established so you can overlook the horizon. The north side was made to be functional by establishing closets. To control the rise in room temperature due to strong sunlight in the summer, the number of windows on the east and west sides was minimized and the eave for the window on the south side was made deep. The indoors is designed to have almost a square proportion and is coordinated with different textured grayish colored walls and furniture by his sharp, insightful design sense. The residence where you can relax from the bottom of your heart was created.
