Holiday Home Inspiration: White Villa at PGA Catalunya Resort
We ran across this holiday-inspiring villa and rushed to do some further research about the project as a whole. The luxurious building is actually a part of PGA Catalunya , a resort located close to Barcelona, Spain, and spread over 300 hectares. Developed by Catalan architects Damian and Francisco Ribas , this particular residence is structured on two levels. Large sliding glass doors open the living and dining spaces on the bottom floor towards the pool, also providing a connection with the expansive terraces and private gardens outside.
