Resting house in pigeon shelters lands | Henka Arquitectos

Inspired on the traditional construction of historic protected pigeon shelters with its overwhelming and characteristic aspect, hidden roofs, load-bearing walls (thermal terracotta blocks) and lime mortar finish, the resting summer house has been distributed in two principal volumes: one for daily use and the other for nightly use, issue from the two linear visual focus and both unified by a vegetal flat roof covered by aromatic plants which is used as the exterior protected shared living space.
Another particularity of the volumes is its orientation to avoid the leading winds, the hard light of the setting sun and to frame the landscape avoiding the massive presence of the pigeon shelter.
