PANORAMA, A HOME THAT BLENDS INTO THE SEA
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes” Marcel Proust.
The metamorphosis of this fantastic Adlib-style house has been radical. In contrast to the owner’s initial intention to make a tabula rasa, the aim is to rehabilitate to re-inhabit.
Panorama captivates with its views, seduces with its curves and intoxicates with its interior. More than 60 years after its construction, it has recovered its lost splendour thanks to an extensive renovation that maintains and enhances its Mediterranean essence.
Its exterior pays homage to the past through sinuous organic and geometric curves that generate movement. Its fully updated interior brings us back to the present with a straight-lined base that conveys a sense of order. Outside again, from the house’s porch, the views allow us to look towards the future.

The original hall was closed off from the window of a swimming pool that occupied a third of the present one. The house’s main terrace was fenced off and flanked by cypress trees, which, at the same time, blocked the view of the sea. The kitchen was disconnected from both the views and the day area.
The house’s interior layout has been completely redesigned with a single premise: to organise the spaces, unify the outdoor terrace with the day area and enhance the views.

To achieve this, a detailed study of the new uses of the dwelling was necessary. As a result, the principal building uses were rezoned, and the paving height was modified.
Panorama takes its name from its views, but it also responds to how its interior is arranged, to what goes on inside it.
The existing vernacular architecture is updated with more modern elements and natural materials, achieving a back-and-forth exercise of past, present and future.
