REFUGE IN LA GARROTXA, located in the middle of the natural parc of La Garrotxa, is a project related to a small prexisting and old building beside a familiar masia. This construction pretends to be a singular cabin for meditation and complete isolation.
The most important of this project is to create an hermetic interior atmosphere in the middle of the nature, by combining the old stone walls of the existing building with the brutalism of the concret to create folds and light slits, and thus, create a controlled and focused lines of light breaking through the thick walls. The profundity effect obtanied by this folds and slits combination, indreases the sensation of isolation and cave.
The project reflex the paradox of a closed space in the middle of the open natural environment which allows to live an interior world of uncommon sensorial experiences where to meditate and disconnect from the urban routine, returning back somehow to our nomadic origins.
