The quiet town of Vilapol located in the northern part of Spain, in Lugo, is a perfect place to enjoy a relaxing time off really difficult to find in the city. In this valuable scenic surroundings padilla nicás arquitectos designs a vacation home in a triangular plot of just over 1,000 sqm.
Well photographed by José Hevia, the house uses the sea and the nearby forests as its perfect frame, for constantly opening to such an environment with a sequence of holes in the façade which reflect in the inner spaces this desirable place for relaxation and rest.
Description of the project by padilla nicás arquitectos
Vilapol, the small village where this house is located, is elevated and looks out upon the Lugo landscape.
The house is situated on a triangular plot whose geometry determines the shape of the house, opening itself to the lush landscape and the ocean´s horizon.
The scale and layout of the openings seeks integration with the unique environment without sacrificing the strong desire to open up its most exposed facade to the landscape.
The open internal plan facilitates movement between the main rooms, placed along the open sea front. Around this covered space is where the daily life of relax during the holidays occurs.
The bright colors used in the interior are introduced as a contrast to the leaden skies of the Galician countryside.
