This Majorcan house reuses marés stone intertwining the past and present its island character. It is ordered in a way bidirectional being a corner plot, there is a dominant direction, it wants to look everywhere.

Finalist in recent FAD awards, the project developed by TEd'A architects solves its structure with load-bearing walls arranged in swastika. In these walls outside windows into the street and interior to the other rooms open. The services are placed at the perimeter, forming a thick facade, releasing the center of the plant and allowing use visual and relationships between rooms.
 

Description of the project by TEd'A arquitectes

The house occupies a corner site, the proposal is ordered bidirectionally. The house does not have a dominant direction. The house wants to look in all directions, so that the wall structure star in space, services are placed at the perimeter, forming a thick facade, releasing the center of the plant and allowing visual and use between rooms relationships. The materialization of these walls will be critical to the process of work. It existed on the site of a small building bearing walls of sandstone, a local sandstone. Common sense leads to reuse these parts. The strategy is already served. They texture and characterize the facade, a texture that over the years will absorb the added patina by time. The old pieces of sandstone, as a matter of quantity, combined with new parts. New, taken from the same quarry that old, are used at points where an edge is needed more perfectly: window frames, indoor shots, etc.
