House in Ontinyent

architecture

Located in Valencia province, Spain, lies House in Ontinyent—a private residence designed by Borja García, a local architecture studio. It is connected to the recently renovated original headquarters of Gandía Blasco, an outdoor furniture and textile factory.

The house is an extension of the building and reflects the same values and aesthetics, externally and internally, with the use of white and neutral colours ensuring that the house conforms to the company's contemporary design principles—simplicity and refinement. Borja García explains:

The core of the project is a large open space on the ground floor and a sculptural staircase made of concrete that guide visitors to the upper floors. The materials, with an absolute use of white, are always naked and honest. The basement, a large sheltered space between concrete walls, connects the house with the pool. The pool, built in white concrete also represents a large water plane floating with the rest of the field.
I appreciate the choice of the owner, José Antonio Gandía Blasco to link his work and his life in a unique concept—a sort of landmark for a small town.
