The Dezanove House, situated in a small fishing village in the northwest of Spain, refers with its materials to its location by the sea. It features recycled wood from the local fishing industry – wood that originally formed part of the floating platforms (bateas) used for mussel farming and thus was exposed to sea, wind and weather for decades. The rough, weathered exterior of the wood has been used for the facade, the smooth inside for interior finishings and furniture.
Situated on a rocky hillside, the house is comprised of two parts: the extroverted living area that opens onto panoramic views and the introverted sleeping area with a wooden facade, which can be completely closed off by folding shutters. In the open living area, the floors, walls and ceiling are made of wood; in the bedrooms, exposed concrete dominates. The ground floor features a studio with a bedroom, living area and kitchenette. The house doesn’t just offer spectacular views of the sea – a quiet, sandy beach is only a few steps away.
