Mormaiquel House: a rustic home located in a Spanish village of 20 people

The project, completed by Jaime Salvá Arquitectura & Interiorismo, was designed as a single-family home for a local couple and numerous animals

by Hannah Holt 24 June 2022 Sustainable Buildings

The plot covers 35,000 sq m and is surrounded by vineyards and mountain views.

The house is developed on a single ground floor with all of the rooms directed towards the best views and orientation. Its style was determined by the strict planning regulations made for rustic land. 

Conceptually, the house is a sequence of parallel stone walls that divide the different rooms. It was developed with a Mediterranean architectural style, using local materials, such as the masonry stone used in the walls, used from the same plot. This stone has a presence both inside and outside the house.

In the bathroom, microcement has been used in the vertical walls and in the cladding of the bathtub, thus reducing the number of materials, and eliminating joints.

The roof of the porch is made of reed, contrasting with the white painted beams, providing a fresh and Mediterranean air.

The work, which lasted approximately two years, had the technical architect Iñaki Fernández as responsible for the material execution.
