Inverted building

Located between Barcelona and the French border, on a quite well-preserved section of the coastline, this construction follows the very uneven relief of its site. From the road, only the top two floors are visible, housing the restaurant and its terraces. As such, the layout conceals the seven residential floors located lower down, each of which enjoys a wide terrace overlooking the sea. Access to the dwellings is gained by car via the upper level, or on foot via the lower level by means of a lengthy set of steps which runs along the building. This “inverted” building thereby establishes a connection between the road and a lower pathway which leads to the beach.
