Viva la Vega House / Serrano + Baquero Arquitectos

Horacio and Vanesa's childhood memories are linked to the fertile plain of Granada; the murmur of the irrigation channels, the coolness in the shade of the poplars, the materiality and the light inside the dryers or the distant landscape of Sierra Nevada. In 2017, after acquiring a plot near Albolote, at the foot of the Tajo Colorao and in front of an olive grove, they commissioned us to build a house with the wish that we would try to link that agricultural image of the plain that resided in their memory with their needs. The plot is of narrow proportions, a situation aggravated by the existence of a right-of-way for use of the acequiero on one of the long sides. This route is necessary to carry out the daily maintenance of the ditch that adjoins one of the short sides.

In the Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors1 the main industry is the production of mirrors with various curvatures. The only mirror with a flat surface that reflects a true image of reality is the exclusive property of the king, so that the less graceful inhabitants look beautiful and the beautiful ones look ugly, the young people look old and the older people look young, while the hungry and gaunt inhabitants appear bright and well nourished.

The Orchid
At the beginning of 2016 florist ‘Caladium’ was forced to replace its pavement in order to undertake works in the sanitation of the building where it is located. Taking advantage of this situation, the owners decided to entrust us with the business reform. Over the years, this store had been characterized by being a place full of vegetation but at the same time full of disparate objects, disordered and piled up in a small space with poor lighting. This situation caused that the star product of the florist, the orchid, did not have a leading role and went unnoticed among the general accumulation of flowers and objects. The intervention, which counted on scarce economic means, aimed to make this place cozier with very basic elements: air and light.
