CONSTRUCTION OF A HIGH-END TIMBER-FRAME HOUSE
This house takes up the typology of traditional Basque houses while offering a very modern plan with generous volumes.
Its contemporary architecture resonates with a commitment to keeping a tradition alive, while deliberately avoiding the pitfall of imitation vernacular. Simple volumes and high-quality, environmentally friendly materials were chosen.
This luxury house overlooks a sloping plot. Its south façade features huge picture windows that bring light into the interior, while the north façade is very closed, with the service rooms acting as a buffer zone.
A green flat roof covers the carport, limiting its visual impact on the rest of the building. As a result, the whole contemporary villa blends perfectly into the landscape.
