A Refuge In the Serra Tramuntana
Project Casa Mares

The Marés house is a refuge in the Sierra de la Tramuntana that is inspired by the materials, colors and constructive solutions of the traditional architecture of Mallorca to obtain a Passivhaus house integrated into the ravine.

The project consists of three longitudinal ships offset from each other, which are extended by wooden porches that project the interior structure of the house on the outside. These arcades allow vegetation to grow between the porticos and generate ample shaded spaces that protect the openings in the walls. The pool is conceived as a large pond on the sidewalk sheltered in one of the sheds.

The arrangement of the volumes generates different exterior rooms that allow the use of the house to vary during the different seasons of the year depending on the sunshine or the wind, thus adapting to the needs of its inhabitants.

The materiality provides a great feeling of warmth and seclusion, due to its natural textures and warm and neutral colors. The thick dry stone masonry walls are finished off with large marés ashlars that define and delimit the geometry of the house. All openings are protected by a system of wooden Majorcan shutters that open fully to maximize views of the landscape
