HOUSE IN AN OACK GROVE
  • House in an Oak Grove
    Single family housing in Manantio, Badajoz, Spain
  • This house deals with the desire for a simultaneous contemplation of the fireplace and the sunset and with nature turned into a domestic object of affection. It intertwines construction and natural environment in order to stress the relationship with an oak grove full of family memories.

  • The house should be completely closed when nobody is home, and very open when the owners go to enjoy nature. It is a house that is bigger when it is open and smaller when closed. 
  • The sliding doors give shadows to the surroundings of the house to create areas of comfort in a very hot summer.
