About this project
This building is located within a 4000 m2 plot with the purpose of becoming the main activity focus during the summer months.
To this end, a pavilion open to the garden is generated as a continuity of it. It is a totally permeable construction, but with a very marked own identity, as the roof slab defies gravity through the imposing cantilever that, having no supports, is directly associated with the swimming pool, being only a roof that ‘floats’ to generate shade on the rest of the programme: an open kitchen with barbecue and Moorish oven, a large arbour, and the sanitary area and changing rooms to service the swimming pool. The concealed perimeter lighting further emphasises the slab’s lightness, while the Corten Steel cladding provides a modern look that perfectly matches the main building.
