Calera del Rey has recently been completed by Gualano + Gualano Arquitectos, who have built a house with a dome-shaped cover that rests on large stone walls thereby adapting to the surrounding landscape.
Description of the project by Gualano + Gualano Arquitectos
Mountains, distant horizons, rustic and soft landscape, 20 hectares of land. The enclave, a set of rocks and a crown (Scutia Buxofolia) that position the piece. A courtyard to the south, protected, containing the tree. To the north the horizon, the views and the landscape sloping down to the stream that crosses the place.
A long vaulted ceiling defines the project 6 meters wide x 24 meters long. The dome rests on two stone walls of the place, also supported by a lightweight tubular metal structure.
Below, three pieces of the larger stone, bedrooms, bathrooms, the kitchen counter and grill. A gallery, a long space, covered, protected from the south and open to the north.
