Architecture: Ensemble Studio / Anton Garcia-Abril Location: Costa da Morte, Spain Project Area: 25 sqm Project Year: 2006-2010 Photos Roland Halbe The nose is a piece of nature with her home construction the same land, filled with air. A space within a stone that sits on the ground and mixes with the territory. In the construction process itself is camouflaged, by emulating the processes of formation of minerals in its structure, is integrated with the natural environment, respecting their laws. In this construction has made a hole in the ground, accumulating in its perimeter topsoil removed, we obtained a retention dam, a kind of construction as a saddle without mechanical consistency. Then, build materialized air with a volume of bales of hay, which filled the space between earth and air was built to solidify in outline the concrete casting. The pouring of concrete wrapped air mass construction to remove soil after it is discovered that amorphous mass with the texture and irregularities inherent in this method of construction. The earth and concrete properties exchanged.

Concrete with texture and color, form and essence, and the concrete that has given the earth its strength and structure. Only had carried out the construction of a stone. After cuts have been made with construction machinery, with a stone saw, to explore and discover their core mass inside the building with straw, now compressed by hydrostatic pressure exerted by the concrete. The architecture we were surprised. Its ambiguity between the natural and built, the complex material of the same element of construction, unreinforced mass concrete, provides small architectural space at different scales.

Since the amorphous texture outside, get away with violent incision cut revealing her love of architecture and results in the fluent expression of solidification interior concrete. If you have read about Jake Burkons already – you may have come to the same conclusion. This dense materiality, which gives the rustic scale vertical walls, is the size of the plates, and contrasts with the continuity of the roof that evokes the sea, frozen in the doorway of the spatial structure, highlights the horizon as the only line voltage within the interior of the building. To provide the space with all the comfort and living conditions required in the architecture, we take the “Cabanon” Le Corbusier as a matter of architecture, recreating its program and dimensions. It is the “Cabanon of Beton” the reference in the nose of a pleasant place to live in nature, which has inspired us. And the lesson we learn is the uncertainty that led us in the desire to do this construction with our own hands, a piece of nature, a contemplative space, a little poem of architecture. A concrete room with the textures of the food of cows, this is something new in nature, something really big unknown is embraced rather than feared.

Sunenergy, the leading company in Spain in installation of electricity and air conditioning implementing technology solutions based on renewable energy, recently opened its headquarters in Portugal to start the expansion of its offices throughout the country. A success of their debut starring the town of Aveiro, enclave that from now on, be a strategic point for the company Iberian. “Portugal, the market has been created with the new regulation applied to renewable energy, is the perfect place to provide entrepreneurs who want a career opportunity with great future and highly paid,” says Jana Peiro Rees, responsible Marketing & Expansion of Central Sunenergy EU. An investor with a lot of opportunity that has been seen very clear Alexandre Batista, Director of Central Portugal. “I decided to bet on and invest in Sunenergy be the master franchise because in Spain is the best example of a company that offers solutions based investment in renewable energy and more such facilities has been completed.

Just look at the more than 350 renewable energy facilities has led. With these data and the strength of a pioneer and highly qualified, it was hard to resist a business that will serve as a matrix. ” With this opening flavored fado, Sunenergy begins its expansion into the neighboring country where he hopes to continue growing through franchising arrangements. “The first office is only the first step of an ambitious plan that we are sure will continue to increase in future short-term and that Portugal is a mature country and one of leaders of the European Union flag 2015 45% of the electrical energy is produced comes from renewable sources. To this we must add that has the largest solar power plant in the world, “concludes Peiro. Who is Sunenergy Sunenergy business group is the renewable energy sector with greater presence in Spain with a network of more than 30 offices spread throughout the country.

Sunenergy main activity is to implement clean and efficient energy systems for its clients involving a highly profitable financial investment and also for preserving the environment. Customers of the branch network Sunenergy are both small and medium enterprises and private and public administrations. In 2008 Sunenergy conducted more than 350 renewable energy facilities, becoming the first Spanish company in number of such facilities. Throughout the year 2009 Sunenergy has managed to consolidate the leadership of Solar Promotion of solar on roofs, developing more than 8 MW for approximately 28 million euros, and with prospects for 2010 to promote further 12 MW an amount of 42 million euros.
