The corral had only a few meters of façade, just enough for a gate, but inside it opens up into a large area.
The architects chose to distribute the residential layout in a functional and efficient way by placing a rectangle right in the center of the corral, dividing it into two parts.
This created two courtyards, one on each side of the house, providing excellent interior lighting and ventilation.
The architects, drawing inspiration from the local vernacular architecture and reinterpreting the typical porches of the Manchego courtyards, centered the project’s focus there.
They designed roofs that embrace these courtyards, creating shade and allowing the outdoor spaces to be inhabited in the same way they always have in these towns—protecting from the intense summer heat and creating shelter and comfort in the winter.
The roofs rise and fall, compressing and decompressing the space to create spatial richness at key points. This is particularly evident in the stunning living area—living room, kitchen, and dining room—which is high and bright, running from one side of the house to the other, and is undoubtedly the most spectacular area of the home.
Functional and pleasant bathrooms and bedrooms are distributed inside, separate from the common daytime area, waiting to offer rest and relaxation to the inhabitants at the end of the day. Ceramics and blue lacquered wood are the most expressive materials in the project. They are responsible for expressing emotions and creating comfortable home environments, full of their own personality.
