Vulcano House
Since yesterday, a neighboring island, La Palma, has a new vulcano.
The Canary Islands are volcanic, as it happens in other volcanic areas, they are emergency plans in place and monitoring teams. This is how after the start of tremors in La Palma since last Saturday, there were predictions and plans put into action, the management of this crisis has really been outstanding.
I have mixed feelings, I'm sad for those that have lost and will lose their houses and businesses, farms, etc but as a Geographer, I can't help but to be excited and amazed by the power of creation/destruction of natural phenomena like a volcano's eruption, especially when it happens on camera while we're all watching the news waiting for updates!
So yes, yesterday was a pretty intense day! and inspired me this post.
I had a vague idea but couldn't really picture it, if you will...
The architecture of Kraftwork's PAZ house boasts full-length glass windows, which immediately invites a natural landscape surrounding it straight into the heart of its 4 spacious rooms.
I imagined it on a gentle slope without a designed garden but rather, foliage from vegetation that naturally grows on the lapilli and rocks instead.
The open terrace is perfect for al fresco dining/entertaining because there's privacy from cliff barriers (yay!) and the weather would always be in our favor — but, of course without any barriers or distractions from the landscape surrounding the property.
