Community building and garden and parking. Lorquí. Murcia
Conceptual plan
Plot`s virtual aerial view
In a semi-arid climate we discover an oasis with date palms, bushes and flowers. Recovering back all the natural assets of the site we settle an endless flat roof around an old massive house creating a sinuous-shaped courtyard.
The ancient massive house and the new light ring
THE RING
The new organic form adapts and models according to natural characteristics of the place.

The spatial continuity between inside and outside is granted thanks to the 2 perimeters of glass which don’t interrupt people enjoy the environment both natural and architectural.

THE SUNSET GARDEN
Swimming pool`s conceptual idea
The outside garden extends as a green natural blanket dissolving and spreading out the limits of the interior rooms. At night the ring illuminates the surrounding area as a flying saucer would have just landed.
