When Corona y P. Amaral Arquitectos completed this contemporary beach house in 2005, it didn’t take long to mellow into its exotic surroundings. The Jardin Del Sol Residence in Tenerife of the Canary Islands, Spain, boasts an all-encompassing presence atop a 300-meter cliff. Its monumental, modern appeal comes from an imposing concrete and glass facade, which frames views of water and sky from every room in the house. Enjoying vibrant sunsets and an endless horizon from an expansive outdoor patio, the modern home overlooks a spectacular 1,000-meter-long black-sand beach below. The home’s modern interiors are influenced by the home’s main construction materials – concrete and glass – which give the rooms their cool, contemporary ambience. Corona y P. Amaral Arquitectos
