This is a villa by the sea, on the isle of Majorca, right in the middle of a pine forest in\u00a0 <\/span>Palma itself. It is in fact three separate buildings plus their adjoining services. The first building is the owner\u2019s house, the second is a guest house and the third one is for a caretaker. Access is gained on the upper side of the plot, where a sort of platform leads to the buildings\u2019 main entrance. This plan follows the natural contours of the land, determining the horizontal direction of the structure and the volumes\u2019 layout. The main structures have rather modest dimensions and are quite formal. Their sculptural character is highlighted by angles featuring the land\u2019s curvature, allowing a near-natural integration with the surrounding landscape. Siza\u2019s new approach to the concept of private housing can be noticed in the perfect way these buildings are connected and arranged.
