I have always loved water and mountains hence my interests in sailing and mountain sports. And once in a while, I'm lucky enough to see both and Zahara de la Sierra in Cádiz, Spain is such a site. The study area consists of electrical lines, narrow roads and a strict maximum reservoir water level. The architects, Julio Barreno Gutiérrez have been sensitive to the local architectural style and made the single floor building with 200mm thick concrete walls with white mortar finish and black tiled roof with skylights. Inside it is divided into 2 main spaces, one for storage of the canoes and the other a private space that houses the showers, toilets and changing rooms. To show a further demarcation of space, they have used red tiles on the walls.
