Fran Silvestre Arquitectos erect a stunning modernist house in Valencia, Spain. The aesthetic of the structure is defined by an incredibly slick, contemporary style that elevates itself to luxurious heights. Dubbed 'Hoffman House,' the building has a few key features that set it apart from other residences.
For one, Fran Silvestre Arquitectos attempted to extract the most out of the lush environment with an experience-forward design. As a result, the modernist house boasts a walkable roof, on which "residents can walk [...] and admire the surrounding landscape."
Unlike other contemporary residencies that try to blend into the natural state of their location, Fran Silvestre Arquitectos attempt to set a clear distinguishing line. This idea motivates the incorporation of a "stone podium" that raises the modernist house above the ground.
