Sticks and stones

Rising from the grass, shaded by a stand of trees is a simple beach house celebrating its surroundings and the lifestyle of surf and sand, sun and fun with family and friends. This is simple building within a short walk of the sea but in its simplicity, its pared back state is the essence of casual days, a slower time and pace. Life is a beach after all and the design team at Martín Gómez Arquitectos are no beach bums when it comes to the perfect seaside retreat. Over the next few days I will be sharing more from Martín Gómez. In the seaside town of Punta del Este, Uruguay he has been slowly designing and building a relationship with this beautiful part of the world. A relationship that embraces site and nature, the built environment and natural environment. Each home will be different but always with a common thread. (You can see my previous post on Martín Gómez here.)

This place is exactly what i want. I would not change a single thing. Thanks for posting this very inspiring post.
Okay...I see a computer...does that mean someone can actually concentrate on work here? If yes, sign me up! Such a very serene space!
How simple can a bathroom be...
Punta del Este is one of the most beautiful places in the world, Uruguay has fantastic beaches.
Juan de Montevideo,
All of these nice bespoke peices and amazing finishes - then they go and put cheap, asian made, poor quality surfboards in the photos... yuk.
It is so classy and relaxing
Nice interiors. Very earthy. Since i'm a fan of reproduction modern furniture i would have put some of it to mix up the earthiness with some modern designs.
Awesome use of materials.. clean and completely functional
