Red-walled houses in Calpe, Spain

The red-walled buildings in Calpe, Spain, are very distinctive. Mobile gaming has been on the rise in recent years. Among them, the game "Monument Valley Monument" will definitely make many players crazy about adventurous exploration in the mysterious world of institutional buildings. So there are buildings like this in real life. Here is a brief introduction to the red walls in Calpe, Spain.

In this magical building on the Spanish seaside, many scenes are familiar from the game.

This real-life version of Monument Valley is very mysterious. If it weren't for Monument Valley, it might have been years before such a beautiful building was discovered, but its beauty makes anyone who discovers it feel glad you came.

This building is called LaMurallaRoja, which means "Red Wall" in Spanish.

Located in the small Spanish town of Calpe, it was designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill in 1968 and officially completed in 1973.

It can be said that this building fully restores and draws on the popular architecture of the Arab Mediterranean. The architect said that he was inspired by the Mediterranean tradition of Kasbas.

Although the building's name is Red Wall, the entire building, in addition to red, also contains excessive shades of pink and blue to purple, giving the building visual continuity.

The surreal world of architects

The Red Wall can best be described as a maze, like a fortress that seems to protrude from the rocky cliff on which it sits.

LaMurallaRoja is a Mediterranean sea view residential area where people really live.

There are 50 apartments, 60 square meters, 80 square meters, and 120 square meters. To protect privacy, the building is gated. It is a private residence after all.

From a more professional perspective, the boundaries between public and private spaces are also the architect's reinterpretation of North African castles.

It features a series of interlocking stairs, platforms and bridges, interpreting the typical Kasbas cycle with a modern twist.

For the comfort of life, the designers also added a roof terrace, solarium, swimming pool and sauna. The swimming pool on the roof is cross-shaped, like the soul of the entire building.

Cross-border brand inspiration collision

LaMurallaRoja has become a good place to take photos with 360 degrees without blind spots. Every frame has the effect of a blockbuster, and it has gradually become a holy place visited by various fashion blockbusters.

Everything from a scene like this is casually lifted. And it's twice as valuable!

Many big names come here to take photos.

A Spanish fashion brand shot a fashion short film in the spring and summer of 2016-"DelpozoSS16FashionFilm".

The designer of this brand, Josep Font, originally studied architecture, but later switched to fashion. Mysterious magic.

The picture is very good, but the content is not very clear. I remember the heroine holding a sculpture and throwing it down after a wild kiss.

Just last year, French artist Martin Solveig's MV for the song "DoItRight" was also shot here. You can admire the overhead views of the building's interior courtyards and rooftops, as well as small details like the pool tiles.

All the colors of the building are girly pink blue, but the outline of the building is bright and straight (straight for men), successfully creating this space for both men and women. Architectural marvel.

Fortunately, LaMurallaRoja is now a homestay and it is very cheap. Book now while not many people know about it.

Remember next time you travel to Spain, this modern fortress is definitely worth a night's stay.
