Casa en Paderne - Folgoso do Courel - Spain
The architect makes a delicate intervention before a stone wall on the preexisting placing a laminated wood structure. The house is covered with chestnut wood outside, present in the forest environment.
Overlooking the forest by one of its sides with a large window while closed and turns his back to the rest of hillside houses but to live with them as a volume more integrated among others. The simplicity with which reinterprets the language of the environment is an admirable delicacy and restraint.
