The project takes place in the municipality of Sa Pobla, one of Mallorca?s rural areas. The rural connotations highlight the character of the project from its conception.
The house is set up in an extensive agricultural plot, joining a set of agricultural plots in which the buildings appear dotted in the landscape. From the very beginning, the character of the place has become a trademark of the project?s development, both in its morphology and in its materiality. Concrete walls that operate as a fortress, and that are fused through artisan work. The duality between innovation and tradition has been a key point in the project proposal.
The project is understood as a covering that folds and extrudes longitudinally, forming the different spaces of the house beneath, covered porches and patios that fuse the interior and exterior at all times and that frame and focus on the views of the surrounding fields and of the Sierra Tramuntana.
The fac?ade is opaque and forceful. Ceramic is use...
