Palabritas Beach House in Lima Peru | Jose Orrego

Peruvian architect Jose Orrego has designed this white elevated box styled palabritas beach house stands gracefully on Palabritas Beach in Lima, Peru.

The architecture acts as a frame to the view of the beach, taking full advantage of its front-row location and evening sunsets. The design revolves around transparency between the spaces, yet still allows for intimate areas of privacy within the home.

The whole house has a white finish with color accents in red, in both main elements such as the swimming pool as well as furnishings. The house reminds us of competitive elements used in Stanley Kubrick films, with the white curved elements contrasted with details in red.

The exterior was designed as a white elevated box, exposed from its front side. One of the sides has a concrete lattice based on a contemporary composition with perforations that allow the interior to have a transparency without losing its intimacy.
