Beautiful Houses: Sotogrande in Spain

GenCept

by GenCept | April 30, 2010

Following the success of our article 'One of the Most Beautiful Houses I've Ever Seen' and also some requests from our readers, we are proud to announce a new post series here at GenCept, a series about Beautiful Houses. The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more...

This week, we present you the amazing Sotogrande House.

Sotogrande house is the latest project by A-cero architecture studio, the project is a single-family house situated in a tourist town of the Mediterranean coast. It has been built as a house for holidays. A-cero has chosen the white colour as the main element in the house’s decoration in order to provide clarity and luminosity to the interior areas. The house’s structure is a cubic volume. It has an area of almost 400 m2 and it is distributed in two floors. The furniture, also designed by A-cero, includes lacquered modern pieces. White and beige woods have a main role in the furniture. In some places there are some details of dark wood which break the predominant white colour.

Well, in my opinion, all the white, the elements, lines, shapes, material... everything matched perfectly and the result was a very beautiful house! To see more about the project go to A-cero's website. See you next time. :)

But the official declaration of a break-up could now mean getting back in touch with the caterers - for the ceremonial cutting of a divorce cake. Designed as the centrepiece for ‘divorce parties’, the fancy confections are apparently being ordered by newly-single men and women and their friends to celebrate a fresh start.
