Figure About to Fly | Camiral House

Discover the elegance of Camiral House, a stunning linear residence designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos in Girona, Spain. Nestled within the Camiral Golf & Wellness resort, this monolithic home embraces the landscape with clean geometry, sustainable innovation, and minimalist precision.

Defined by a strong horizontal volume and a subtle offset upper floor, the house creates a large covered terrace and dramatic cantilever with no intermediate supports. Inside, the spaces flow seamlessly: living areas on the ground floor open to panoramic views, while the upper level houses bedrooms and a central study wrapped in natural light.

Built into a narrow, elongated site, Camiral House uses natural light strategically—through a north-facing skylight above the sculptural staircase and carefully placed openings that enhance privacy while connecting to the outdoors.

The partially buried basement adds tectonic weight and anchors the structure. This house is not only visually striking but also environmentally advanced: it’s the first single-family home in Europe to achieve WELL certification, integrating systems for health, light, and air without compromising on design.

A masterpiece of minimalist architecture, Camiral House feels both still and full of movement—like a “figure about to fly.”

  • Slatted Beach Retreat

    Thrilled with the beach town location of their summer house, but not with its loud ’90s-era architecture, a family approached Blue Truck Studio with a directive — tone it down. What they had: a house with wild geometry, such as octagon-shaped rooms and triangular spaces. What they wanted: a Sea Ranch aesthetic of simple forms. Blue Truck Studio created an all-new interior of calm, open spaces that flowed easily into one another. For the exterior, the firm reconfigured windows as well as the siding, which wrapped around the house to simplify its form and provide privacy. A pivot door and two large slider doors invite ample light inside while a driveway turned soccer pitch and slatted outdoor shower for hosing off after a trip to the beach reflect the family’s love of recreation and the outdoors.
