We present this pioneering jewel of circular architecture located in Sant Pol de Mar, one of the most charming coastal towns in Catalonia next to the beach. On a plot of 12,691 m2 and located in an elevated and privileged enclave with views of the sea, its unique circular construction stands out, a precursor of sustainable modern architecture.    This circular condition makes this type of buildings better withstand the passage of winds around them. We could say that the wind moves naturally when it approaches curved surfaces, contrary to what happens when it collides and is trapped between the corners of conventional houses.    Another of its advantages, in relation to sustainability, is that they require less construction material, that is, it requires up to 20% less material (walls, floor ...) compared to a similar house with a conventional rectangular structure, resulting in lower maintenance costs and greater emphasis on energy efficiency by having fewer surfaces in direct contact with adverse weather conditions. All this for a better energy conservation inside.    And as if that were not enough, another benefit that usually stands out over houses designed with a circular design is the magnificent acoustics they achieve inside since their curved shape softens sounds and attenuates outside noise, resulting in better rest and relaxation. There are many who defend that a circular construction is more comfortable and natural to establish a home. Some, in fact, relate the shape of these designs to that of the mother's womb.    The property is accessed only from a private street.
