In this project we were commissioned together with Xavier Salvador to create a wide space for the celebration of outdoor events but protected from rain and sun and at the same time to integrate 2 existing industrial buildings in the intervention.

In front of the house various terraces enjoy the shadow of these pines allowing people to rest outside in a fresh atmosphere in summer. In order to integrate with the place, we observe and try to learn from both the past and nature itself to make our proposal. The project tries to dialogue with the existing elements and the natural environment, to speak their same language by working with aspects like form and materials.

To integrate these industrial buildings totally different to each other, we generated a single facade that joined them in one, creating an outline that reminds us of the topography behind. Establishing that dialogue with the surrounding, we decided to use corten steel, which is same colour of the reddish soil of the area and of the terracotta bricks which the country house is built of. The result is an intermediate space, a boundary between the interior and the exterior space, a place to shelter but at the same time in direct contact with nature.
