Spanish Estate

 

A modern Spanish country home tucked into the hills of Cáceres, Spain, was once an abandoned stable.  The architecture firm ÁBATON Architects transformed the building with respect to the surrounding environment. Since the home is fairly isolated it was designed with a system of solar panels with accumulators that collect energy in the summer and settled turbines that feed electricity to accumulators in winter. The stone found in the surrounding area was used to build the house and the swimming pool. The supporting walls in the interior were replaced by light metal pillars, the haylofts in the upper area were converted into bedrooms, the water through became the fountain that is situated in the interior courtyard of the property.
