B HOUSE REFLECTS YELLOWS FOUND IN NATURE

A Spanish home and refuge that is inspired by its surroundings

B house in Berrocal, Spain was built in 2011 by Josemaria de Churtichaga and Cayetana de La Quadra-Salcedo of ch+qs architectos. Inspired by the surrounding Castilian landscape and the variety of yellows found therein, the 150 square meter house was constructed by Pablo Campoverde and is the result of 12 years of planning.

Meant to serve as a refuge as well as a frame for the idyllic meadow in which it sits, the small dwelling has a view on the east as well as the west, fitting harmoniously into its habitat. The designers intended for onlookers to get the sense that the house vanishes and the rest of the world continues uninterrupted when they stand in the entryway.
