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.
@Greg, there seem to be wires holding them to the roof.
there are small drainage holes for rain.. look a little closer
Great idea! I don’t think it can be flooded. That’s why the open part is placed at the lower end and there’s a small step inside between the plant and the shelter part, it’s all the drawing!
@Melissa: Good point, but please consider that stray cats are more exposed to dangers and weather and require shelter more often.
Note to Designer: Cats(most animals) prefer a shelter where there is a alternative exit, where they can escape when a predator found the entrance.
You can clearly see the drainage holes at the the bottom of the wedge shape. I think the idea is ok, but how are these anchored? Wind, heavy rain or snow could be a problem and they look big enough to hurt if the shear off not to mention the sharp point on the wedge :/
What about rain ? It would be totaly wet and full of water. And cats hate water. As a cat owner, this is useless.
hahaha like half of the cat toys that i buy, i don’t see a single cat using or inspecting those houses. my cats prefer plastic bags or cardboard, but i imagine those cats see enough of that already.
What happens when it rains? Won’t they fill up?
