House On The Air, Spain

Zahara de los Atunes is one of those places where the ordinary becomes exceptional. Every day has its sunrise and sunset, but the way it happens in this unique place is difficult to describe.

With this starting point, the architecture is arranged almost like a mechanism to protect ourselves while capturing the spectacle offered by our surroundings.

Due to its sloping terrain, the structure appears as a piece of architecture deposited in the environment. The site is prepared with a sort of foundation made from the grey tonality of the stones found in the surroundings; in fact, the name Zahara comes from the Arabic Sahara, which could be translated as a “rocky place”. This foundation allows the house to be settled at the necessary level to ensure the view of the sunset reflection in the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

At the opposite side, we find a quiet courtyard that provides shelter for the strong winds of Tarifa, this courtyard also leads to the complementary rooms of the house. As if the upper floor was dropped over the plinth, the residence is divided into three areas. The main area is the living room. Entirely passing between the northwest, where the magical sunset takes place, and the southeast where no structural element interferes with the interior space and the landscape. On both sides are the night areas with the same orientation. This arrangement balances the structure and gives privacy to the main room.

A simple architecture embedded in a place where any sensitive observer will be able to enjoy all the colours.

Zahara de los Atunes es uno de esos lugares en los que lo cotidiano se convierte en excepcional. Todos los días tienen su amanecer y su ocaso, pero la forma en que esto acontece en este sitio en particular es difícil de describir.

Con este punto de partida la arquitectura se dispone casi cómo un mecanismo que nos permite protegernos mientras capturamos el espectáculo que nos ofrece el entorno.

Debido a que el terreno tiene pendiente, el elemento aparece como una pieza arquitectónica depositada en su entorno. El lugar se prepara con una suerte de basamento materializado con la tonalidad gris de las piedras que se encuentran en el entorno, de hecho, el nombre de Zahara, proviene del árabe Sahara que podría traducirse como lugar rocoso.

Este basamento permite que la casa se posicione en la cota necesaria para asegurar las vistas y la puesta de sol en la lámina de agua contra el Atlántico. En la parte posterior se dispone un tranquilo patio en que resguardarse cuando el viento de Tarifa es intenso, a este patio recaen estancias con usos complementarios de la vivienda principal. Como si estuviese dejada caer sobre este zócalo la planta superior se divide en tres espacios. La zona central es la pieza de día. Completamente pasante entre el noroeste, donde sucede la mágica puesta de sol, y el sureste sin ningún elemento estructural que interfiera entre este espacio y el paisaje. A ambos lados se encuentran las zonas de noche con la misma orientación. Esta disposición permite equilibrar la estructura y dota de privacidad a la habitación principal.

Una arquitectura sencilla engarzada en un lugar en el que el observador sensible podrá deleitarse con todos los colores.
