House of wood & steel in Ranón, Asturias, Spain

February 11, 2011 Category: House, Residential

Located in Ranón, Asturias, Spain, House of wood & steel was designed by ecosistema urbano arquitectos. Contemporary revision of models of vernacular architecture (granary and terrace, use of wood in structure and closing). Combination and reinterpretation of formal and constructive typologies of traditional architecture of northern Spain. Establishment which adapts to climate conditions and which integrally respects the wooded area. It minimizes its impact on the earth and on the landscape; the construction detaches itself from the ground and only is supported at four points. The original slope is maintained, the natural green cover of the ground passes below the house without any interference. Mixed structure of steel and wood, collapsible and recyclable.
