FORMAL ARCHITECTURE THAT SERVES AS A SERENADE

When it comes to describing the Balint home in Valencia, Spain, the word “Spectacular” would be an understatement. One would have to work very hard to find words that are comparable to the Balint house. Poetry is inherent in the very nature of this residential house, which was created by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos and is situated in a magnificent location inside a golf course. This one-of-a-kind construction would immediately conjure up ideas of several well-known monoliths if one were to take a first glance at it. To put it another way, one may even be inclined to compare it to an oyster that is too cozy and contains a priceless pearl. With the setting in mind, the home has been built in such a way as to minimize the volumetric effect that it has on the site. This has been accomplished by combining components that are reminiscent of the curved character of the terrain of the area. In addition, the structure itself packs a powerful punch as a result of this. The home has a tremendous amount of charm and personality thanks to the elliptical facade that sweeps all around and encompasses the whole house. The building is positioned closer to the edge of the plot, which allows for adequate space for a garden and a pool on the southern side of the property. Additionally, the aerodynamic views of the home direct the attention towards the depth of the landscape that is next to the house. The crescent-shaped pool that is located at the entry is in perfect harmony with the structure’s façade, which is characterized by its continuity and sinuousness. The fact that there is water around this ‘oyster’ brings it closer to the true-type condition. The plot’s lateral limits are identified by the presence of dense vegetation. Orthogonalized areas can be found inside the folds of the interior of the home, which stands in stark contrast to the curving outside of the building. In order to link the drawing room, the kitchen, and the service rooms, the expansive patio leads into a central void that acts as a hub. Having a number of skylights installed over the space results in the creation of carpets of light that, as the hours pass, completely modify the interior of the home. In order to provide ventilation, the top level is where the sweeping facade perforates, and the rooms are arranged around this region respectively. The Balint House, with its spotless white beauty and all of its exuberance, is a testament to the inventiveness of the human intellect.
