We have always been fascinated by the work of Acero from Spain. Those mazing waves in facades, rotated and suspended over a square. immeasurable, has fascinated humanity forever and architecture has echoed this fascination countless times.
With these references continually going around in our minds, a place appeared in Mijas, on a plot of great slope and at an elevated level that provides fantastic views. The place would seem ideal to place an astronomical observatory, but the proposed program was a house.
We propose to embrace with waves a space open to the sky and the horizon, and simultaneously protected from the gaze of others and the powerful winds of the area. The upper level rooms open in a controlled way towards specific landmarks of the landscape, while the public area enjoys the relationship with the main and open space. Perhaps in this way we can live on a daily basis in this space that has always captivated us, a place where what is evident in nature is difficult or impossible to achieve.
