Architecture firm Nordest Arquitectura has created the Guest Pavilion, an extension of the main house serving as guesthouse in the village of Begur, Spain.

Begur is a small Catalan village located on the Costa Brava, 45 minutes from Girona. In addition to being a tourist destination thanks to its beaches, it is also characterized by a colonial architecture that gives it an exotic touch.
The pavilion created by Nordest Arquitectura has a simple shape, which fits into the middle of the forest changing as less as possible the surrounding characteristics.

The exteriors are in corten steel with a slat facade which allows privacy. The inside is understood as one open space which is both living room and bedroom, while the bathroom is the only ambience spatially limited.
 

Description of project by Nordest Arquitectura

- Guest pavilion in Sa Tuna

The assignment consisted in the construction of a guest pavilion as an extension of the main house.

Our first thought was to create a shape clear and simple, a cuboid placed in the middle of the forest, changing as less as possible the surrounding characteristics, as if it had always been there. 

The pavilion is defined by an U materialized in corten steel with a slat facade that creates a retreat inside, a place to be and contemplate.

The entrance is in the ground floor. It’s  like a kind scultural void inside the ground, you enter on it, then you upstair throught it to the pavilion.

The inside is understood as one space: a living- bedroom space and in one corner there’s the bathroom.

The east, south and west façade are totally glazed, with a solar protection made of corten steel  sliding lattice. The north façade has more controlled openings that illuminate the bathroom and the entrance staircase.
