Casa Balint is an elegant white home located adjacent to a golf course outside of Valencia, Spain. Designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos, this unique minimal home is formed of one sweeping elliptical motion. This form extrudes and intrudes at key moments to create space for rooms and windows. The arched roof, cantilevered at certain points, is supported by four concrete posts. The roof dictates where shadows hit the home, providing light and shade where needed. This shape serves practical functions in addition to its aesthetic value. The elliptical allowed the structure to take up minimal space on the site, minimizing the disturbance of the surrounding landscape.

The interior features three floors. On the ground floor, the kitchen and living spaces have large windows that look out on to the garden. The bedrooms are located in the more private spaces upstairs, while an underground area provides additional living and patio space. In the backyard, a curved pool mimics the shape of the house.

Casa Balint embodies the notion of architecture as an art form. This home is so much more than a functional living space; it is a true work of art.
