EN LA RESERVA DE LA BIOSFERA DE LAS SIERRAS DE BEJAR Y FRANCIA EN EL SUR DE LA PROVINCIA DE SALAMANCA, SE CEDE EL USO DE TRES PEQUEÑAS FINCAS

En un pequeño pueblo, de 250 habitantes, en el sur de la provincia de Salamanca, se cede el uso de tres pequeñas fincas distribuidas en :

1. Viñedo de 1.500 parras de uva tinta del país.
2. Viñeo de 800 parras de uva tinta de país.
3. Finca agraria destina a la produccion de cereza, con unos 50 árboles y una produccion aproximada de 2.500 cerezas.

This project exists on a 55-acre property in the remote hills of Malibu with unique topography and panoramic views looking out to a nearby mountain range, a valley, and the Pacific Ocean with islands in the distance. The site was previously owned and developed by the eccentric designer Tony Duquette who developed over 21 unique structures incorporating found objects from all over the world. In 1995, the Malibu fire destroyed all but a few steel “Pagoda”-like structures. When I first visited the site I was struck by the fantastic views but also the creativity by which Duquette appropriated found objects and made them look as if they were originally crafted like traditional indigenous structures.

In searching for inspiration, I imagined a roof structure that would allow for a un-obstructed view of the mountain range and distant views. The client, a woman who co-owns a Mercedes car dealership, requested curvilinear/feminine shapes for the building. The progenitor of the building’s form was envisioned as a floating curved roof. It soon became apparent, that in fact, an airplane wing itself could work. In researching airplane wings and superimposing different airplane wing types on the site to scale, the wing of a 747, at over 2,500 sq. ft., became an ideal configuration to maximize the views and provide a self supporting roof with minimal additional structural support needed.

By incorporating many of the previous pads and retaining walls we sought to minimize significant grading and subsequent impacts to the existing topography and landscape. The wing structures are conceived to be positioned to float on top of simple concrete, shot-crete, and rammed-earth walls that are cut into the hillsides. The floating roofs will derive simple support from steel brace frames, which will attach to strategic mounting points on the wing where the engines were previously mounted. Frameless, structural self-supporting glass will create the enclosure from the concrete slab on grade into the wing as roof.
