The project ‘Concrete Fields’ begins to flourish from the sensations that originate in the location of the project (La Punta, Valencia); On the one hand, the light, the silence and the sensation of freedom that one breathes in the middle of the orchard. On the other hand, the action of the human being, who destroys all this in favour of his interests.

With this in mind, and abstracting these two natures, the two main materials of the project emerge; wood and concrete. However, the project is not based solely on the use of these two materials; it is important to focus part of the project on the treatment of light, as it forms part of the essence of the Mediterranean, as well as achieving visual lightness thanks to it, despite the hardness of the concrete.

These ideas are expressed through vertical and horizontal wooden elements that stylise the spaces and break up the heavy concrete and rammed earth structures, which help to configure the different rooms.

The interplay of these two materials creates a series of routes through the spaces, both visual and sensorial. In addition, light filters through the separations left by the lines of wood, creating a landscape of light and shadow in the interior of the house that varies with sunlight and artificial light. This play continues on the outside, becoming visible through wooden structures that envelop both the entrance to the house and the rear façade.
