The Sunflower House could be likened to a haphazard pile of toy blocks. But instead of letters and numbers decorating the sides of the wooden pieces, these oversized blocks are made out of pristine white walls and glass windows. Utterly chic, the unique design of the Sunflower House segments the interior spaces to create private nooks to better enjoy the stunning panoramic view outside.
Designed by Cadaval & Solà-Morales, the Sunflower House is located by the Meditteranean Sea in Girona, Spain. The designers write, "The house wants to identify each of the particularities of this magnificent landscape; with its geometry, the house frames a multiplicity of different and specific views, and builds up content spaces that inhabit great big framed views."
