CAMPO BAEZA

Infinite plane facing the infinite sea.

We have built the most radical house we have ever made, an infinite plane facing the infinite sea.

A house facing the Atlantic Ocean, at the water’s edge on a beach of Cadiz, like a piece of earthly paradise, where the Romans once lived in nearby Bolonia.

We built a powerful podium in Roman travertine whose upper horizontal plane becomes the protagonist of the space. Inside the podium, underneath this platform like a temenos, is the house.

Above and behind the stony platform, we have erected stone walls to protect us from the strong prevailing winds.

As if it were an acropolis. A temenos where the gods descend to converse with humans and toast with Sherry on this plane on high looking out onto the infinite sea.

The house of the infinite.
