CASA EN LA LADERA DE UN CASTILLO

The latest project by Spanish studio Fran Silvestre Arquitectos is a sleek angular house that bursts out of a rock face for dramatic juxtaposition of nature and architecture. But by cleverly filling the void between the rocky ground and with a top floor courtyard that faces the majestic mountain above, the architects claim to have integrated the structure into its environment. We slide open the large panels that conceal the windows of the home in Ayora, near Valencia, and take a virtual tour.
