Located in a small Spanish village, Casa en Mojácar (House in Mojácar) was finally completed after 4 years of planning and building. The white house lies on a steep area, sandwiched between 2 cascaded terraced buildings.
The architects in chief, Alberto Campo Baeza and Modesto Sánchez Morales, shared:“The house is staggered over 4 levels between 2 streets, the one above and the one below. Despite being allowed to build 2 floors on the upper street, we have just built one, so as to preserve the view of the neighbour behind’.

There are 2 terraces corresponding the 2 main rooms of the house, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. On which, the parapet walls are table high with a generous horizontal surface finished in sturdy white limestone, similar to its floors. The entire structure is whitewashed. From above, the new house has emerged in its surroundings as one.
The highlight touch of the interior is a well-proportioned double-height vertical space. In it, numbers of opening were created to capture and collect the penetrating sunlight.
‘The work has been arduous and protracted and confirms the assertion that the greatest virtue an architect must have today is patience.‘, said the architects.
