He saved stone barn. Also built unreal villa under hillside

  • Gorka Ibargoyen bought an abandoned stone housebarn in the Bera Valley of Navarre and wanted to expand it to fit large gatherings without destroying the original character. With the help of architect friend Jordi Hidalgo Tané he went underground, building an annex to the primary home inside the adjacent hillside. Accessible via an all-glass corridor the addition is nearly invisible.
    The cave-like addition resembles a fissure in a mountain, and that is what inspired Tané’s design, and is nearly invisible from the outside: it is accessible via a transparent, all-glass corridor. When looking at the model, Ibargoyen feared the hidden home might resemble a bunker, but the glass skylight in the green roof light combined with the long window running down the entire length of the structure brings in plenty of daylight to the subterranean shelter.
    To unify the two structures, the used only glass, concrete, and wood for the interior, resulting in a concrete sink and a wooden shower. While the result is modern elegance, Ibargoyen insists it’s not a fussy home “Things are made to be used, and to show wear over time”, he explains and pointing to a wine stain on the cement countertop, he adds, “That is happiness”.

Very creative use of the topography of the site.

      It has a downside though. An example: In japan most of the time only the living room is climate controlled. The temperature differences when changing rooms in traditional japanese houses is really high. Upon changing rooms the body can get into a shock like state causing a heart attack. It's why in japan heart attack cases at home are really high, especially in elderly.
      The body isn't perfect. I think a better way is to have temperature transition lightly.

    The house is great too. Everything is so tasteful and aesthetic without being too precious to use. Everything is modern and impressive, but still taking a backseat to the natural beauty around. This house makes me question what the relationship between house and nature really is. It's awesome.

    Mr. Ibargoyen's architect friend, Jordi Hidalgo Tane, is a genius. I can't help but see the spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright in this marvelous structure. I love the way that massive concrete ceiling seems to float over the space. The transition from the old structure (wonderfully restored) into the new is like a religious experience. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when Mr. Ibargoyen said some people said the concrete needed to be painted. Sad testament as to how society in general has become so influenced by the building/design trade's standards for the sake of profit.

Great place to relax and entertain, and what I found very appealing there is plenty of light and space for the plants to grow successfully and also grow quite large, which is what I love and creating a healthy environment for the occupants. There are elements about the design that remind me of some of the building design at the Eden Project, I like it very much. I hope the owner will have a very good and happy life there.

    What a wonderful beautiful house, what a lovely owner, what a great guy his architect was and how can we persuade people to build more homes like these? God Bless the Basques... and can we please get them on our local council and start giving people living homes?

    I really like the house and the living area next to it. Very interesting; ive been thinking about buying an old house and doing exactly this: taking all the wood out, and rebuild the inside with concrete. Really cool! The wood really finishes the whole thing.
    Thanks for sharing your house!

    Thanks for another amazing vid, Kirsten. ( : Love the way he integrated the very old with the very new and primarily with only wood and cement.
