Ström Architects Designs Minimalist Barcelona House with Panoramic Sea Views
By
Jon Astbury
An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
Ström Architects designed Barcelona House as a minimalist coastal home featuring a fully-glazed corner with panoramic views of Barcelona and the Balearic Sea. The UK-based studio took a "quiet luxury approach" for the client, creating spaces that emphasize the surrounding landscape while referencing California's modernist Case Study Houses. The design reduces the house to its most essential elements, focusing on simplicity and connection to the coastal environment.
