Es Sabinar

A beautiful rural plot at the foot of Puig d’Atzaro, with neighboring corrals and views over a gently sloping valley, on stone terraces.

Commissioned by a very fun young family, a sensible budget for a healthy and playful program. A beautiful rural plot at the foot of Puig d’Atzaro, with neighboring corrals and views over a gently sloping valley, on stone terraces.

The front of the house is a simple score … a pergola, as a vegetable visor, with its own entity, which does not overshadow and allows the breeze to enter, refreshing and perfuming …

The excavator is the great enemy of good architecture, especially in rural areas. We opted for a very vernacular approach, strictly adapting to the topography made up of low-rise terraces. The house sits on the landscape …

The house is abstract, a game of volumes and heights that are chained, very much in the logic of the Ibizan farm: to each area – according to its function – a volume and height of its own. The rooms are arranged in elevation like small pavilions that, when articulated, create interstices and patios where, suddenly, in a recess, an outdoor shower is located, a bench, a time for reflection. The climbers will take possession, creating transparencies and preserving privacy.
