Yet another Zon-e Architects project, located in a mining town in the heart of the Cantabrian Mountains, Spain. This housing project is state-funded and is the first new residential development in the region for 25 years. If you look at it closely, you'll notice that the form of the building comprises two masses perpendicular to each other. Why, you might ask. The architects have decided that the building form takes precedent from the jagged mountains, which at times become geometric. Slate is used for the building to keep its colour and material in context with the surrounding. Since it is a social housing for miners, the black facade looks like coal thus absorbing the daylight. Each residence will occupy the different 15 apartments in terms of plan & internal size although the external building looks uniform. One sure thing is that they will all have the view of Asturia's landscape.
