House in Tenerife by Corona and P. Amaral Architects






The location of the house on the edge of an impressive 300 meters cliff overlooking a black sand beach at Teide volcano and a large area of the northern coast of the island of Tenerife, has been instrumental the proposed architecture. The idea of the house consists of inserting a monolithic piece of concrete and glass on a wooden platform at the edge of the cliff, thus emphasizing the geography of the farm. You enter from the top to a double-height volume that provides a space free with direct view to the Teide. From there, the sea appears as a vertical wall. A Ipe wood deck surrounding a black pool on the edge of the cliff. The sheet of water merges with the sea. Wood and water stress the great terrace landscape, while it is enriched by the architecture.
