Tiled steps lead down from the terrace to the pool of Casa Ter, a concrete and stone house designed by architecture studio Mesura in Baix Empordà, Spain. The L-shaped residence is bisected by an outdoor terrace that runs along one side and through the end, creating a covered indoor-outdoor living space.
Sandy-colored textured concrete render covers the low-slung exterior of the house. The local ceramic tiles from La Bisbal line the terrace and the pool, along with the ridges of the vaulted ceilings and the insets of windows and doorways. A shade made of woven natural materials supported by slim black struts creates a shady place to sit outside.
The covered porch can be closed off with glass sliding doors during winter to create a sunny yet sheltered living space. One can choose to keep nature at a distance through the windows, or to let it into the home. The centre area, the porch, can be whatever the user wants it to be. This porch space is normally used as a dining area, flanked by a kitchen on one side and a living room on another.
A separate guest bedroom with its own entrance is located at the end of this volume. The other side of the L is comprised of three bedrooms and a bathroom off of a ground-floor corridor. Stairs at the end lead up to a first floor occupied by the main bedroom, which sits beneath a Catalonian-style barrel vault lined with more earthenware tiles. Apart from the arching first-floor bedroom, the rest of Casa Ter is single story and topped by a flat sedum roof. Interiors are pared back with white-painted walls, wooden furniture and natural-toned soft furnishings. Take a look at the gorgeous photos of this amazing house below!
