Giving a new chance to a ruined building whose roof had collapsed after a fire in the mid-90s of the past century was the starting point to designing this house. Singularly placed and out of scale, erected in a sort of no man’s land between high-traffic roads with different heights, a green wasteland, a commercial area, a sea view above the thick and disorganized agglomeration of houses bordered to the south by the Atlantic Ocean, and another one at the top of the mountain to the east with the city to the west, the intervention was necessarily large.

Continuing the development of light structures, this pavilion breeds and recycles elements of other projects such as the Helio Pavilion (Portugal / Spain, 2018), Torre de Aire (itinerant, 2017), Still Cabanon (Portugal, 2018) and Flexible Tank (Chile, 2019). The creation of this pavilion involved the building of a structure as the center of the Walk & Talk’s 19 art festival, which could host concerts, performances and talks linked to the festival program. It is a temporary low budget pavilion where recycling (reuse of the balloon of the Helium Pavilion), the use of locally available materials (cedarwood) and the possibility of being dismantled for reuse in the future were fundamental goals to achieve to find a balance between design and available resources. The economy was understood here as the spatial possibility itself, summarized in three elements: wooden wagons that house the waterproof program -bar, kitchen, technical room and cellar-, a recycled balloon of 6.8 meters in diameter and a fabric that connects both elements.
