00:00It was a declaration of intentions, because I always believed that the integrated architecture must be able to strengthen it.
00:11And that's the beginning of the architecture, the happiness of the human beings.
00:21The terrain is a very inclined terrain, with some views towards the south.
00:28And the terrain is oriented towards the west.
00:32So, the drawing of the house was given as it marked the south.
00:40The south is the best orientation for a bioclimatic house.
00:44It's when the sun is high and heats up the top of the roof.
00:49So, you have to protect in the Mediterranean climates in the summer.
00:53In the winter, what is the opposite is that the sun, which is much lower, enter in the house to heat it.
00:59It's a total principle of a concept of architecture,
01:03integrated in the landscape,
01:05respetuously with it,
01:07and, at the same time, bioclimatically, that it works, frankly, well.
01:11Because the best isolation that there is is the earth.
01:15By taking a lot of attention,
01:17the cover of the excavation that was done was put on the cover,
01:22and then it was gardened.
01:24The interior of the landscape is what it needs to be.
01:26The interior of the landscape is what it needs to be.
01:28It's not only the architect has to project the house in situ,
01:32but then it has to go away
01:34to see the people who have been looking for a lot of years,
01:36who have been looking for that place,
01:38how it is discovered.
01:40This house is not discovered,
01:42because it is entirely integrated in the landscape.
01:44It has to be seen in the landscape.
01:50What I found from a house that Foco built for so long,
01:5440 years old,
01:56which is almost my age,
01:58is the vision that I had had,
02:00even though the antiquity,
02:03the respect for what is around,
02:06the interaction with the nature,
02:08the ceiling on the ceiling,
02:10and also the style that it has,
02:13the form, the geometry.
02:15I am a graphic designer
02:17and all this part
02:18seemed to be very advanced.
02:20It is still being actual.
02:22It is the form,
02:24the essence of the form,
02:25it is never lost.
02:26And this house is already materialized
02:28in walls.
02:29And that is what I have to do most.
02:32Despite all these years,
02:33it is still feeling very actual.
02:37Ignacio,
02:38the proprietor of the interior,
02:39with whom I have done a good relationship with the time,
02:41and at the end,
02:42he also looked for a connection
02:44of who will be living in this house.
02:47And, well,
02:48he respirated much love for this project
02:51and, well,
02:52I am here to extend it,
02:54in some way.
02:55I thought it was right to open the door
02:58to see it.
03:00There was a lot of people who didn't know it,
03:02who didn't know it,
03:03who didn't know it.
03:05and,
03:06I think,
03:07from the beginning of the moment
03:08that I came to see it,
03:09it seemed like a great maestro.
03:14In that moment,
03:15when I was talking about sustainability
03:17or being aware of the environment
03:18and being aware of the environment,
03:20it was very natural.
03:2140 years ago,
03:22it was not.
03:23And this sensitivity
03:25for the nature,
03:26for the landscape,
03:27but at the same time
03:28for the architecture
03:29and all these knowledge
03:30that are integrated,
03:31I think it's also something
03:32that I feel,
03:33but in my world,
03:34with the natural
03:35but maybe
03:37to a digital world,
03:38or how the digital components
03:40that are with whom I grew up,
03:42I lead to something
03:43more sensitive
03:44or more respectful
03:46with the material,
03:47with other disciplines
03:48that I love
03:49and that I love
03:50and that I respect so much.
03:51I think that
03:52this sensitivity
03:53is very unique
03:54and there are people
03:55who can have it
03:56and others who don't.
03:57Others who acquire it,
03:58others who train it,
03:59but I think that
04:00that connection
04:01that, as simple as
04:02as we feel,
04:03and that
04:04I feel that
04:05I can't be able to share it.
04:06I'm able to share it.
04:07What is it like?
04:10In any project,
04:11you have to travel
04:12through the terrain
04:13and discover
04:14all the pre-existencies
04:15natural
04:16that there are,
04:17from the rocks,
04:18from the birds,
04:19from the trees,
04:20from the trees,
04:21from the trees,
04:22everything.
04:23So,
04:24all this inspired,
04:25for example,
04:26a tree can start
04:27to design a business
04:28of a house
04:29because it can be in a patio.
04:31A rock can start to be like a building.
04:34So all these elements are fundamental
04:37for an integrated architecture.
04:39The rock of the area is granitic.
04:42So the mud broken with a river of river,
04:46which is the design of the facade,
04:49is much mimetic with all the rocks of the place.
04:52So, in some way, the idea was
04:55that the ground was going up to the house
04:58and it was completely integrated with it.
05:00The biggest difficulty that this project can have
05:03is the entrance from behind.
05:05What happens is that when you go down,
05:07it's like a hole in the ground,
05:09you go down and you open the window
05:10and suddenly you see the sea and the interior of the house.
05:13This adds an interesting sensibility to the project.
05:17And then also thinking
05:19that if one day someone would do a house,
05:21that the level of living of this house
05:24was sufficiently high
05:26so that the view never cut off.
05:29It's also important to match all these topics
05:32for the development of a logical and balanced project.
05:39Someone who loves architecture,
05:41like him,
05:43and discover this house that
05:46doesn't stop being,
05:47because of the past time,
05:48and because of what they did,
05:49an interesting house,
05:51and also,
05:52that solves some fundamental problems,
05:55it segregates a empathy.
05:58We are, like I would say,
06:01of the same family.
06:03He likes art,
06:05he is artist,
06:07this house is also artist,
06:09so that, in principle,
06:11the connection was immediate.
06:14Inmediate.
06:15Inmediate.
06:16To have Javier is a privilege,
06:18because,
06:19I can call him
06:21and consult him,
06:23and well,
06:24to have the house,
06:25and understand him,
06:26and to know more about him.
06:27So,
06:28I already have a great point of the game,
06:30but, well,
06:31there are challenges,
06:32and also,
06:33I am evolving in my practice.
06:35In this,
06:36this journey
06:37of 15 years
06:38that I am going on,
06:40where I am going
06:41through different sectors,
06:43and manifest different curiosities.
06:49With the first computer
06:50that I knew,
06:51that came from France,
06:52the first,
06:53that did an analysis
06:55of the temperature of the house
06:56for a whole year,
06:58the monitor program
07:00that explained
07:01the project,
07:02how it was done,
07:03and then,
07:04the energy management
07:05of the house.
07:06There was a thermal
07:08surge
07:09between 4 and 6 degrees
07:11between winter and winter,
07:12which was surprising.
07:14Why?
07:15Because the Earth
07:16is the better
07:17isolation.
07:18As an example,
07:19of an architecture
07:20that at that time
07:21was quite innovative,
07:22although,
07:23in many places
07:24had been done
07:25in many places,
07:26to be responsible
07:28for the studies
07:29to create
07:30this architecture
07:31more eco,
07:32that they said
07:34that it was eco.
07:35But,
07:36I always thought
07:37that this house
07:38in that moment
07:39was logical.
07:40I would like to see
07:41the living room
07:42as well as the living room.
07:43I would like to see
07:44the living room
07:45as well as the living room.
07:46I would like to see
07:47the living room
07:48as well as the living room.
07:49Personally,
07:50my favorite part
07:51is the living room
07:52for the circle
07:53and then,
07:54because it has a view.
07:55So,
07:56it's my favorite part.
07:57My favorite part
07:58of the house
07:59is the living room,
08:00but I don't want to choose
08:01the same
08:02as Javier,
08:03so I'm going to go up.
08:04It's the area
08:05with the view
08:06more panoramic
08:07and more beautiful
08:08of all the environment
08:09and that
08:10asom a little
08:11what you discover
08:12later.
08:13And,
08:14having some
08:15paths
08:16with the architecture
08:17with the walls
08:18and other things
08:19that start to come
08:20and the concrete
08:21and the stones
08:22that I think
08:23is amazing.
08:24When you discover
08:25that there is an entrance
08:26there,
08:27it's even more magic.
08:29It's like
08:30I want to enter
08:31and see
08:32what there is
08:33inside.
08:34When I need
08:36I need
08:37to go up
08:38and go up
08:39and walk
08:40there.
08:47I think
08:48that
08:49the most important
08:50of the architecture
08:51is
08:52the harmony.
08:53Well,
08:54as Javier did
08:55at the moment,
08:56I imagine
08:57he had a lot of freedom
08:58to create
08:59and this freedom
09:00allows you
09:01to create
09:02without limits.
09:03The fact
09:04to manifest
09:05that
09:06in a future
09:07in a canvas
09:08that
09:09in the case
09:10of Javier
09:11was the ground
09:12for me
09:13it is the house.
09:14So,
09:15this extension
09:16is the one I would like
09:17to see
09:18in a future
09:19perhaps
09:20to be able to
09:21see.
09:22This house
09:23for me
09:24is a medium
09:25of expression
09:26and,
09:27although my
09:28medium of expression
09:29was the digital world
09:30that is the one I know
09:31and the one I was developing
09:32all this time,
09:33I would like to see
09:35how I can manifest
09:37many of these curiosities
09:38or many of these
09:39experiments
09:40here.
09:41I hope
09:42that they are very happy
09:43and that is the
09:44beginning of the architecture,
09:45the happiness
09:46of human beings.
