Extensive Corten Steel Structure Brings Outdoor Spaces to Old Spanish Country House

ByMyProperty Life

Transforming the space around an old and expansive Spanish country house into a perfect venue for functions, gatherings and diverse social events, the Mas de Lucia Extension by Cristina Moya Arquitecta combines modernity with classic design. Part of an extensive makeover and addition project around the lavish house in Nules, Spain, the project aims to providing sheltered, pleasant and spacious outdoor hubs that also feel appropriate for the area. Xavier Salvador also played a major role in the creation of the metallic pavilions that we crafted using corten steel.

Creating multiple outdoor spaces that are connected with one another








The reddish tint of the corten steel structures not only gives the expansive pavilions a unique look but also lets them blend in with the industrial buildings on the site. These smart areas also mirror the reddish hue of the soil in the region even as the lush green gardens and lovely pool areas offer visual contrast. Corten steel not only adds aesthetic charm to the mansion, but with sea breeze a constant presence in the region, these metal structures are bound to weather ever so beautifully over time. This keeps maintenance down to a minimum and improves the durability of the project.

Beautiful lighting, comfy minimal décor and smart social zones complete the new venues where there is no lack of space, fresh air or lovely views. Providing ample shade, covered walkways and corridors connect each of the pavilions and act as a bridge between the old and the new at the Mas. [Photography: Mayte Piera]

  • Chilmark House

    Martha’s Vineyard is home to the single largest concentration of our residential work and some of our earliest projects, including the Polly Hill Arboretum. Chilmark House, like many of these commissions, is immersed in the landscape and continually reconnects its inhabitants with the surrounding woods, pools of sunlight and nearby Vineyard Sound. Entire walls and windows are designed to vanish and erase boundaries between indoors and outdoors. We were guided in the earliest phase of the project by the couple’s wish for distinct public and private spaces and the site’s topography. The central public space—the living and dining areas–plus a sitting room in the guest wing, are oriented toward a kind of natural sun-filled well on the house’s south side. Interior load-bearing elliptical columns allow sliding doors and windows to make large openings to the south in the exterior walls. Opposite, on the north side, sliding windows create large gaps in the exterior, connecting the living room and kitchen directly to the woods and waters of the sound. Bedrooms are on the wooded edges, on the east and west sides. A roof deck, terrace and side decks create outdoor living spaces. Shortly after completion of this project, the couple asked us to begin designing a guesthouse nearby as their family continued to grow.
