Clean, green and ultra-contemporary, this cool house by the architects at Nolaster conceals something quite spectacular beneath its grassy cap. Located in the city of Laredo along the northern coast of Spain, this house isn’t so easy to spot from above. A bird’s-eye view is of a site where grass climbs to the edge of an imposing cliff, with the waters crashing below. But a closer look reveals an innovative home designed into this rocky landscape. This modern single-storey home sits perched on stilts, with a covered outdoor living area tucked beneath the house. The home’s facade is designed for function, enclosed in a durable cladding to withstand the strong northern winds off the Bay of Biscay. Inside, you can almost feel the spray of the waves as you sit at the storefront-style windows and take in the view. A stairway leads up to the lush rooftop overlooking the beach below. Nolaster
