Fresh Villa
Summary
Large windows frame different valley and forest views towards south and west allowing the daylight to enter the combined living, dining, and kitchen space at all times of day – making nature visible within the home simply elevates the spirit and serves as a visual connection between the indoor, the outdoors, and the natural environment.

Situated deep in the Spanish forests, close to a tiny winter sport area, a small modern wooden retreat sits on top of a ridge formed millions of years ago. Besides the beautiful forest covering the fault, the surrounding landscape is a low undulating region of heaths and ridges that rise 2 hours above gently sloping sandy beaches and small beach towns.
Now completely remodeled on the inside, while the exterior has been opened up with large windows and doors, the space feels visually integrated with the wonderful and completely secluded landscape outside.
Creating homes is often an exercise in restraint. And while the creation of a simple, authentic, and welcoming space might seem effortless and natural once completed, the journey to simplicity and the exercise of finding essence is often rather complex and not an easy task.
