PRODUCT LIBRARY
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.
This construction would fail german building safety standards in lot of cases…
@paul.archidesign:
I would love to see some of your projects…
@paul.archidesign:
Wow dude, you are entitled to your opinion, as strong and bitter as it may be. This project gives to the people a lively and unique place for celebration, the color in the auditoriums and atrium clearly exudes imagination. Not sure what you are looking at but this building is a success even without an exterior like a spaceship.
I’m so tired to see how architects of these days has no imagination and sense of economy, no scaling ability during the design procedure. This project is like a first year architect student work, that wasn’t accepted because of the abusing of the useless built space… I’m astonished to read that they did the designs during 2 years, than 5 years of constructions for 34 million Euros to achieve that project! what a team of amateurs! I understand that Spain has financial problems now… the problem is that this is the case now in everywhere in Europe. what a waste!
…not to mention that the urban planning is catastrophic: the cube is completely disproportional to its environment. Guys (architects, urban planners, politicians), if you continue like this, the planet will be in a very bad shape…
Selgascano: always interesting. They keep on exploring the possibilities of plastic in architecture.
Many exciting moments in this building (ramp view, auditorium,…). The exteriors are really interesting and, thank god, more neutral than inner space. Like the comtrasts of simple-shaped exterior and the liberty and playful ideas of the interior.
As far as I know the work of this firm, I don´t really understand the indiscriminate use of yellow and orange. I think it works really well in small amounts, as a way to highlight certain spacial qualities. I totally disagree in the employee area and flexible auditorium. It literally hurts my eyes. I can’t imagine working in there. Doesn’t seem comfortable at all.
But above all…Congratulations!!
