CAJOS

House for a painter

This house has three elements very importants: 1. The developers: Joseba and María 2. The situation, Gaucín and 3. The position, linked with the land and the amazing views.

  1. 1. Joseba and María are a very special partner. They have marked the character of the house. He is a renowned painter (sanchezzabaleta.com) who comes from Basque country to Gaucin attracted by the position and the views of the city. He needed a place to work and looked for an architect who understood his ideas of the lights and the space. The work developed shared the client and the architect ideas.
  2. 2. The geographic situation is very important too. Gaucin is one of the most singular villages in the Ronda mountain area. The Town is like a balcony looking at the Strait of Gibraltar and Africa. Its privileged situation gives to Gaucin a amazing weather in addition to the views. The Villa is configurated by narrows streets and white Walls. Our idea is to play with white faces and shadows to be integrated with the surroundings.
  3. The plot position is in the highest area of the village and its link with the views and the landscape will be decisive in the concept of the form of the house: a white prism sculpted in the rock to hold a painting studio and a dwelling.

Functional proportions

Basically the dwelling is a white prism that is carved out of the existing rock and houses the painting studio and the dwelling itself.
The proportions of each space have been worked on in reference to the uses that are linked. Thus, the painting studio is located on the first floor. Its cubic capacity responds to the need to be able to paint in a large format. The light should be as uniform as possible and controlled. A patio perforates the space and endows the space with that condition. The stone resurfaces and shows itself in the same. Concrete acquires this new value as a contemporary stone element.

Open space with views

In the loft overlooking the studio is the bedroom for both of them. The living space is mixed with the working space. The upper floor corresponds to the day area. An open space linked to the breathtaking views and becomes a place of rest.
This floor leads to the roof via a walkway from the rear garden area and gives access to a white oasis where the pool is located that blends into the sky and allows you to swim thinking you are in Africa.

Natural integration

Finally, it is very important to highlight the work of integrating the building into its immediate surroundings. A concern both ours and Joseba’s that led us to a solution that gives priority to the play of white planes and the shadows that are generated, avoiding excessively designed elements.
The materiality is sincere with the elements that generate the house: white painted concrete in the interiors and white stone paint on the exteriors. The rest is generated by light and shadow.
