Calderona House, a recent project by Ensamble Studio, is featured in the annual exhibition and special issue n°163 of "GA HOUSES PROJECT 2019", along with over 50 other ongoing residential projects all over the world.
\n
\nThis project, located in Extremadura (Spain) revives the memory of the preexisting settlement found on the site, exposing the new domestic spaces to the landscape. Over the vestiges of old masonry walls, other stones are built, free from any architectural predetermination so that they can accommodate to the orography and result in new spaces, shaded areas, sheltered rooms, and framed views.
