*리노베이션 하우스 [ Marià Castelló and Daniel Redolat ] Can Manuel d’en Corda

 

과거로부터 내려오는 자연이 만들어 준 선물같은 공간을 하나도 거스르지 않고 담담히 

담아 공간에 투영 합니다.

이렇게 담긴 공간은 기존 돌담으로 지어진 공간과 백색의 폴리싱 콘크리트로 재구성된 

공간으로 연속적인 하모니를 만들어 냅니다.

이렇게 빛과 바람은 이곳에서 저곳-과거의 공간과 새로운 공간-으로 공간을 

막힘없이 흘러가며 여기 하우스를 포르멘테라의 

뜨거운 태양으로 부터 평온한 안식처로 만들어 줍니다. 게다가 이곳을 더욱더 드라마틱하게 만드는 것은

자연 그대로를 받아 들인 건축공간과 자연의 랜드스케이프가 만나 형성하는

뷰포인트가 아닐까 싶습니다. 어떠한 건축으로도 쉽사리 흉내 내지 못하는

아우라가 자연에게 있기 때문입니다.

청명한 가을 하늘에 한적한 전원풍경이 눈 앞에 선하게 펼쳐지는 것 같습니다.

The story of Can Manuel d'en Corda is a very happy one. In a stunning plot in Vénda des Cap de Barbariain in the West of the picturesque island of Formentera, Spain, sits a traditional and pretty special house called Can Manuel de'n Corda. The house, which encapsulates the domestic vernacular architecture developed in Formentara between the late eighteenth and mid nineteenth centuries, was crying out for some tender love and care. Sitting pretty, surrounded by a forest of pines and junipers, it sat tight, waiting to be noticed and transformed. And one day, that's just what happened.

Architects Marià Castelló and Daniel Redolat realized the potential of Can Manuel de'n Corda and set out to preserve the house, whilst adding volume to create a home that embraces its location without necessarily impacting its habitat. Whilst the house's common areas have been maintained, the limited palette of materials used in the design, acts in turn to showcase the house's traditional features. And so alcoves, stone walls, sloping ceilings and striking beams really stand out in the fresh minimal scheme. Like the original beams, the external joinery is made from solid iroko wood, and additions such as a striking steel fire place in the living room really complement this home's existing character. The featured furniture includes Mediterranean design classics such as the Torres Clavé armchairs and Miquel Mila Cesta luminaire, as well as the traditional esparto skating chairs made by local artisans, thus enhancing the sense of this house's rustic native roots.

Light and air flow from one room into another, making Can Manuel d'en Corda a perfect retreat from the Formentera sun. The design itself has developed the original architecture whilst adding new features that really make the most of the house's magnificent position. The design fully utilizes the outside space with an assortment of inviting areas that feel both calm and relaxed. So where the polished concrete used outside reflects the sunlight like the water in the incredible pool., outside courtyards provide a number of interlaced retreats and seating areas in which to unwind.  The viewing platform on the extension's flat roof provides the perfect abode from which to admire the idyllic landscape. Taking the house’s environment into account, native plants ensure that the house develops into the landscape with time. Keeping the original northeastern and southeastern facades intact, the architects have ensured that the new openings that have been created, invite the outside landscape into the building. This home has become a dream island retreat, with the extension offering incredible sweeping views over Northwest Formentera and the island of Es Vedra, an iconic part of the southern skyline of neighbouring Ibiza. 

The renovation of Can Manuel d'en Corda is a striking juxtaposition of the tradition combined with modern design. This strikingly renovated yet still unobtrusive house sits still and calm in its perfect location under Formentera's blue sky, and will continue to - happily ever after.
