Vivienda Fuerteventura in Triquivijate, Spain by dcrarq_Architecture&DesignApril 28th, 2012 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: dcrarq_Architecture&Design Situated in Fuerteventura, the second larger Island of the Canary ISlands, the house is located in Triquivijate, a small location in the middle of a desertic landscape. The house was projected for a family of four people with young children in a very windy area, so one of the main requirements from the clients was that the children could have the chance to spend a lot of time playing outside but protected from the winds.

In this sense, the house is basically closed to the north-east, where the wind comes from and open to the south-west. With this approach two main goals were achieved at the same time: to protect the house from the wind and to hide the internal views from the street side.

The patio, a traditional element of the local architecture, becames the real heart of the house, which serves as a central distributor to the different rooms of the house.  Image Courtesy dcrarq The house was constructed using elements of traditional architecture techniques. The local stone found in the plot was used for the cladding of the facades as well as for the perimetral closing of the plot.
