A privileged spot on the coast of Calviá, Mallorca, shaped like a peninsula and with a slight slope towards the water. The project includes a mix of building types: single-family homes and flats in a unique residential complex. The building of the 10 flats is situated on the second beach line, on the upper part of the plot. However, it is high enough to look over the nine single-family homes, which are located along the coast, on the beachfront and have private access to the beach.

The top terrace in the building has a swimming pool with breathtaking views of the sea. Due to its southwest orientation, it is very exposed to the sun, so a roll-up sun sail has been designed to cover the wooden deck area next to the pool. This is a square-shaped Soliday-C roll-up sun sail (made up of 2 triangles) with a diagonal shaft that holds the engine. The pillar anchors are completely hidden under the wooden platform. Moreover, one of the front pillars has been provided with a crank-shaped winch to manually adjust the height of one of the sail’s corners to enlarge the shaded area.
