Contemporist (my new favorite blog) posted photos of an amazing house designed by A-cero Architects:

“The balance on which rest the three principles defining this construction, beauty, firmness and utility give us the key to confront its forcefulness, which emerges as a great sculptural work. It is a plastic reality: the singularity of the house defines a researching purpose that places value on aesthetic originality and artistic excellence. It stands out for its geometric purity, material sophistication and compositional elegance.”

The courtyard looks like “a soft rug dotted with abundant planters and flowerbeds”.

I love everything about this house: the marble exterior, the library, the huge windows that protrude at sharp angles; but perhaps what’s most appealing about this building is how it manages to be strictly geometric — almost lego-like — without feeling sterile or predictable. Each angle offers it’s own perspective, from which you notice all sorts of different shapes: squares, prisms, triangles, as well as lines intersecting in different places and defining new forms. I could look at this house for hours.

Definitely make sure to check out the full post for more photos of this spectacular building. A-cero’s website is also worth a look.
