The House That Didn’t Want to Be Seen

ByMyProperty Life

Most hillside homes are designed to stand out. Tramuntana House was designed to pull back and almost disappear.

Created by OHLAB near Palma de Mallorca, Spain, the home is broken into five sections that step down the natural slope. Instead of flattening the land, the rooms move between existing trees, rocks, courtyards, and planted roofs. At the center, an open courtyard preserves a piece of the original mountain.

Custom terrazzo panels bring the colors and rough texture of the local rock into both the interior and exterior. Green roofs continue the vegetation across the house, while the long pool extends toward the woods and mountains.

Rather than becoming the main object on the hillside, Tramuntana House lets the landscape keep that role.

    Casa Altanera is located in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, México. The lot has an area of ​​2,500m2, with minimum slope. It was established as a natural and essential order of the project to follow up on the reforestation process of the area, contributing to the regenerative process that we find in our context. A single-family housing scheme was developed, contained in three separate operating modules, distributed among social areas and two pieces that interact independently, solving a program of areas for a master bedroom for two people and four secondary rooms for eight people, including your individual and shared service areas. The interaction with the exterior was proposed through the areas that develop in the palapa. The dining room, the kitchen, the living room, the deck, and the pool, are linked together in a common space, while each unfolds from its movable facade of wooden doors, resolving climate relationships independently and sustainably. The most intimate and contemplative connection happens in the pieces of concrete and wood that contain the rooms, suggesting a protected, safe place, in which, each inhabitant would individually define the type of link with its immediate exterior, from its reading of the place.
