photographed by cristóbal palma, the building is clad with dark timber boards that enclose a series of private spaces and direct views towards the crashing waves.
the main feature of the design is the huge kitchen, dining and living space that opens out to the pool and the horizon beyond.
the house consists of three separate brick volumes set above a continuous living space on the ground floor.
the renovation preserves the original masonry façade but carves out a new world inside, one which prioritizes light, space and openness.
I ask the website moderator to post my comments please. Any designer who thinks to intervene in a religious place should understand first the history, culture and environment of that place ! This cathedral is a christian symbol, we cannot use the place as coffee shops!
Modern architecture truly is aesthetically inferior to classics. It feels more like im in an office lobby than a church
Turning Notre Dame’s into a blandspace for everything and its plaza into a cafetaria won’t happen.
Enough with the uniformisation of everything so that tourists feel like they’re in their couches.
Wow, this is really beautiful. The design preserves the openness the space, treads lightly in the shadow the beloved building, and acknowledges the history of the cathedral right up to April 15th.
