Andorra, a microstate bordered by France  and Spain  in the eastern Pyrenees, is the setting for a collection of new homes inspired by the region’s traditional architecture.

The concept, by Spanish studio Rafael de la-Hoz Arquitectos for the Ordino Residential Mountain Resort, proposes a series of timber homes atop two-storey stone podiums.

They will have soaring glass windows  positioned to capture views.

The pitched rooflines are reminiscent of the region’s mountain huts, but that is where the similarities end.

Architectural renderings reveal luxurious, contemporary detailing akin to an upmarket, European ski resort.

Floor-to-ceiling timber beams support the roof in a modern twist on log-cabin glamour, and indoor fireplaces become focal points in living areas, positioned in open space between seating areas and windows.

Timber floors and large-format stone-look tiles are effortlessly chic. Communal areas include a landscaped, central garden, pool and gym with knockout mountain vistas.

Prices range from about $1.58 million to $4.75 million, and completion is expected in early 2021.

The 26-residence project is being developed by Andorran company Arandel SL and marketed by Andorra Sotheby’s International Realty.
