House in S’Estremera

Our main purpose was to meld into the landscape while making sure that the building and the territory would complement one other, so it wasn’t enough to design a house as a mere viewing platform. We wanted each and every room to open out to an exterior space from which to be able to both enjoy the site and take in the spectacular views.

The project can be explained through a metaphor: a blanket of tiles spread on the topography and shifting to create tree-filled outdoor spaces that are intertwined with the interiors.

A pergola that can be understood as another blanket, but of vegetation, overlaps with the layer of tiles, and in this way the building is perceived as a patchwork formed by the red of the tiles, the burgundy of the buganvillas, and the green of the trees.
