House Sitges

Description

The striking tectonics and kinetic design of celebrated architect Tom Kundig made their European debut on a private 1193 m² plot, a few blocks from the shimmering Mediterranean, in the relaxed town of Sitges, just 30 minutes from Barcelona. A far cry from the traditional stucco and tile of the region, Kundig crafted this elemental vision with concrete blocks, COR-TEN steel, and glass panels. Custom-built for a well-known photographer, the property features a vast underground studio space, comfortably accommodating 200 people or 10 automobiles. The ultimate playground for a creative or collector. Framed by immense steel pivot doors that rotate at the slightest touch, the ground floor...

A far cry from the traditional stucco and tile of the region, Kundig crafted this elemental vision with concrete blocks, COR-TEN steel, and glass panels. Custom-built for a well-known photographer, the property features a vast underground studio space, comfortably accommodating 200 people or 10 automobiles. The ultimate playground for a creative or collector. Framed by immense steel pivot doors that rotate at the slightest touch, the ground floor is integrated with a private outdoor space and manicured garden, including a lap pool and equipped gym. 7.7-meter-high ceilings, combined with a wall of glass, illuminate the living and dining areas. This airy space serves as a raw canvas and can be arranged to fit any decorating style. The imposing sconces crowning the living room were bent on an English wheel and hand-blackened by a Harley-Davidson fender and gas tank carver in Oregon. The downstairs chef's kitchen is spacious, maneuverable, and equipped with high-quality Sub Zero and Wolf appliances. The island is topped with a single 1-ton laser-cut slab of Italian marble. All floors are heated by 1.8 kilometers of radiant floor heating tubes. On the second floor, an interior bridge connects four bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, all clad in Italian marble, cut to fit. The master suite cantilevers onto an outdoor terrace, and a spacious guest suite leads to a private rooftop garden with views of the garden and lap pool.
