The development of this projects juxtaposes concepts that far from being contradictory, become complementary thanks to it confrontation. Aspiring to reintegrate this primeval connection between the sensitive and physical, between nature and technique, between architecture, man, and their place in the intimate relationship with the landscape as a way of inhabiting the world. The conception of the house aims to form a point of view, a horizontal plane from which to contemplate the Mediterranean sea and it celestial vault in its most extroverted vision while facing a more introverted vision in the form of a patio; inserted as if it was a prism of light to mould and organise the interior space, generating intimacy and a space for retreat. Therefore, convexity and concavity juxtapose in this privileged corner of the Tarragon coast from where contemplation and retreat aim to be ideas-concepts that are intertwined in a language capable of generating an architecture in permanent dialogue with the qualities of the place. To some degree, the project is presented in the pursuit of these dualities. Turning your gaze towards the horizon in its most convex vision, overlapping the idea of concavity, excavating the void and bringing together spaces around the patio in a more intimate vision of a retreat, without renouncing this tension but at the same time this “confrontation” that S. Fehn understood as “a signifi cant opposition”1 with nature itself to shape and characterise the place.Postprint (published version
