New project in Dubrovnik

A circular house that seeks to capture the views of the Adriatic Sea, establishing a balance between the openness to the landscape and the protection against the prevailing winds.

The project, located in a setting close to the city of Dubrovnik, is conceived from a circular geometry that allows to delimit and frame the landscape. Its configuration evokes works like The door of the universe, by Andreu Alfaro, or some of the sculptures of Eduardo Chillida, in which the void acquires a leading role.

This geometry allows to establish a unique relationship with the horizon, capturing different perspectives of the Adriatic Sea and turning the landscape into an essential part of the architectural experience.

At the same time, the layout of the house responds to the climatic conditions of the place, offering protection against the prevailing winds, such as the bora and the jugo. In this way, the same strategy allows oneself to open to the environment and generate sheltered spaces from which to contemplate it.
