A Slender Brick House Keeps Things Cool in the South of Spain

Horacio and Vanesa fondly recall spending time as children in the plains of Granada, Spain—and they wanted to share the experience with their two kids, Marco and Mauro. In 2017, they acquired a narrow plot near Albolote, at the foot of the Tajo Colorado mountain range, where they could enjoy the murmur of irrigation channels, the cool shade of poplars, the aroma of tobacco drying houses, and distant views of the Sierra Nevada landscape. Site secured, they commissioned Serrano & Baquero to design a home as a love letter to the local ambiance and agricultural vernacular.
