Villa Thalassa by PLEC Studio

PLEC Studio is a leading architecture and design practice based in Catalonia, Spain, committed to reshaping contemporary luxury living through homes that harmonise aesthetics, comfort, and sustainability. Born from a belief in architecture as layered form — “del doblez, del pliegue que transforma la materia” (“of the fold, the crease that transforms matter”) — PLEC designs residences that are at once sculptural, soulful, and deeply rooted in the Mediterranean context.

Their approach is holistic: each project is conceived as a dialogue with its environment and its inhabitants. Homes are more than static shelters — they breathe, they connect, they elevate everyday living with light, materiality, spatial rhythm, and rigorously integrated technical systems. PLEC goes beyond typical luxury benchmarks by embracing high thermal and energy-efficiency standards, advanced bioclimatic design, and finishes of exceptional quality.

A standout example of their vision is Villa Thalassa, located in Begur on the Costa Brava. At approximately 900 m² on a 6,000 m² flat plot, Villa Thalassa is composed of overlapping horizontal and vertical volumes, creating a geometry sculpted by light and defined by transparency. Its design extends life to the exterior with spaces for outdoor dining, a solarium, a 56 m² infinity pool, and terraces that frame Mediterranean vistas. Internally, the subterranean level houses leisure and wellness amenities, including a gym, private cinema, spa with pool & sauna, while upper levels offer generous living areas and master suites that command expansive horizon views.

In 2025, PLEC Studio was awarded Best Luxury Custom Home Developer in Catalonia by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards for Villa Thalassa. This accolade highlights PLEC’s excellence in designing high-end bespoke homes that combine architectural boldness, finely tuned spatial experience, utmost comfort, and a strong environmental conscience.

Whether through Villa Thalassa or other distinguished projects like Villa Vermillion, Salina, or Mirapleix, PLEC Studio’s work is the perfect reference for those seeking truly exceptional, Mediterranean-inflected luxury homes.
