Residential Architecture: Estate in Extremadura by Abaton: “.. transformed from an abandoned stable, the contemporary intervention is respectful of the environment just the structure was in its original state. the orientation of the building exposes an elongated southern facade to the sloping terrain and valley, introducing daylight throughout the entire day. the solid stone supporting walls have been selectively opened to harness the natural illumination, structurally supplemented with metal pillars while maintaining the rustic exterior. the previous haylofts now contain the bedrooms..” Excellent, sun-filled, inspiring transformation..
