Viva la Vega House / Serrano + Baquero Arquitectos

Horacio and Vanesa's childhood memories are linked to the fertile plain of Granada; the murmur of the irrigation channels, the coolness in the shade of the poplars, the materiality and the light inside the dryers or the distant landscape of Sierra Nevada. In 2017, after acquiring a plot near Albolote, at the foot of the Tajo Colorao and in front of an olive grove, they commissioned us to build a house with the wish that we would try to link that agricultural image of the plain that resided in their memory with their needs. The plot is of narrow proportions, a situation aggravated by the existence of a right-of-way for use of the acequiero on one of the long sides. This route is necessary to carry out the daily maintenance of the ditch that adjoins one of the short sides.
