The place
In the southernmost part of Navarre, near the desert-like landscape of the Bardenas and surrounded by the green of the market gardens and orchards along the banks of the Ebro River lies Tudela, the second city in the region in terms of both size and importance and one of the main eolic energy producers in Europe.
The site for the four-star hotel is a wheat field, located 3 km from Tudela’s town center and in the limits of the Bardenas Reales de Navarra, a spectacular natural park with semi-desert landscape.
Commission
The clients, who had no prior experience in the hospitality business, commissioned a one storey hotel on the wheat field which is surrounded by an imposing landscape; the arid Bardenas on one side and the green cultivated fields, the Ebro River and Tudela on the other. A strong characteristic of the site is its exposure to very strong winds –hence the name of the hotel, meaning Air in Spanish– and the extreme temperatures.
Conditions established by the clients from the beginning of the project were for the new building to be built using entirely dry-construction and to work as much as possible with steel elements, as they counted with the collaboration of an excellent local metal worker.
Another determining condition was the limited budget and construction time. After initial meetings with the client, in order to meet the budgetary constraints, we decided to employ a system of metal sandwich façade panels with a rigid foam core, because of its fast assembly time, the metal fabricator’s prior experience in handling this material, its excellent thermal insulation qualities and because of its low cost.
The steel elements and façade panels were prefabricated at the metal shop while the site work, installations and concrete slabs were being completed, and later assembled on site extremely fast. The building was completed in 12 months.
The hotel
Given the site’s great views but its sometimes inhospitable conditions(wind, dust, high temperatures), we conceived the hotel as a succession of protected and comfortable interior spaces from which to contemplate the exterior.
The architecture, interior spaces and landscape design, seek to bring the dweller close to the rural and austere character of the surroundings by providing simple, generous and silent spaces.
Recycled, large wood containers typically found in Tudela’s crop fields for fruit and vegetable recollection and transportation were employed as windbreakers for the hotel’s outdoor spaces. They stop strong wind while allowing air to pass, need no foundations or fixings, are easy to move and were very economical. From the exterior, the hotel intentionally blurs with the surroundings. It presents itself as a lightweight construction that can be dismantled and recycled, recalling the local agricultural constructions, such as barns and vegetable coops found in the area.
The building
In its arrangement, the hotel keeps the forms of the noble constructions found in the riverbank area, the Ribera, which developed around a central court, offering climactic protection. The central court, generated by a series of orthogonal constructions, gives its back to the Cierzo (the strong north-west wind) and opens up to the southeast, where a plantation of poplar trees and the pool are located. The building is composed by a series of simple monochromatic cubic structures. Their dispersed arrangement allows views through the interstitial spaces, minimizing a massive appearance and generating an animated play of light and shadow.
Through an ordered plantation of white-flower cherry trees, one enters the hotel’s main body which houses the common areas — reception area, main hall, meeting room, bar and restaurant– and 10 rooms with private patios, each with a fruit tree. The rest of the rooms are freestanding pavilions with large projecting windows overlooking the open landscape. Access to these rooms is through an exterior walkway, providing them with a private and privileged character by their being right out in the wheat fields.
The treatment of the exterior spaces, translate the characteristic forms, colors and vegetations of the Bardenas desert and the surrounding irrigation fields: ordered plantations of fruit trees, vegetable gardens, scattered placement of aromatic plants such as rosemary and thyme.
Ground surfaces were covered with local reddish earth and boulders extracted from the site, which mark the limit between the wheat plantation and the hotel. Smaller boulders and pebbles were also used as aggregate for the exterior and interior polished concrete floors, resulting in particular terrazzo finish, close to the ground surfaces found on the Bardenas desert.
Rooms
Upon entering the rooms, separating the entry from the sleeping area, one finds a vestibule-like space with a freestanding and open furniture piece that offers a comfortable and generous place to leave belongings and avoid having them visually cluster the sleeping area. It also contains the mini-bar, safe and shelves with outlets for recharging electronic items. The toilet has its own separate space with door. The shower or bathtub is adjacent to a window (or a door in the case of the rooms with private patio) and to the bed area which is separated by simple airy white cotton curtains.
The bathtubs, shower plates, washbasins –fabricated in folded and powder-coated steel sheet– and most of the furniture (beds, tables, luggage furniture, armchairs in main hall, low stools…) were designed by us for this project and made by the metal fabricator who did the building.
Inhabitable window
To reinforce the idea of the rooms as protected outdoor-viewing devices, we created projecting windows with no visible glass frame from the interior.
The windowsill becomes inhabitable by the exaggeration of its depth and by lining its interior with plywood. This lining conceals the glass’ metal frame and the solar filtering devices that roll down electrically. The window is perceived as a simple unglazed opening that creates a false perception of thickness not inherent to the light construction employed.
These inhabitable windows become snug places to read or watch the TV, or simply to contemplate the views. It serves also as seating or as an extra bed for the rooms. Their orientation is mainly northeast to allow seeing the illuminated landscape, without receiving direct sunlight.

istambul based design studio antrepo design industry has created the ‘time tuner’ alarm clock. while the dial
on the front of the device may look like an old fashioned radio tuner, it is actually a clock represented on a
linear plane. instead of a radio the device has a built in mp3 player. this trick of the eye is a odd way to reuse
an old display system for a new means, the clock comes in white, black and metal finishes and runs on
batteries or plugs in.

within japan’s contemporary conceptual architecture scene, it is a natural progress to become more and more specialized and push the
idea of ‘conceptual’ further. in japan’s creative society perhaps ‘conceptual’ does not yet have all these negative connotations, they still think of ‘conceptual’ as an object that took longer to develop than it took to make. in most western cultures ‘conceptual’ is intended as a ‘school of abstract art’ or an ‘artistic doctrine’ that is concerned with the intellectual engagement of the viewer through conveyance of an idea and negation of the importance of the art object itself. but too often in architecture and design the ‘negation of importance of the object’ is not seen as a consequence of the conveyance of the idea, but as an individual aspect that designers, and architects abuse to adhere a deeper constructed meaning to a trivial object.

conceptual architecture produces cubes, and yes, this is white and box like, but there is a lot of detail. french born gwaenel nicolas and japanese wife reiko miyamoto of tokyo’s design and architecture studio ‘curiosity’ have simply tried to convey an idea of harmony between structure and space. they built a spiral gallery space wrapped around a central glass living space. c-1 is designed like a movie with a scenario and story boards. interesting vistas are not only created by the interaction of adjacent rooms but also between rooms placed above one another.

the stairs are extended to become corridors. the design is not defined by walls and floors but by the movement of the user within the open space.
like different scenes in a movie, the user will appear and disappear from floor to floor. when he moves inside this spiral, he turns around places for contemplation.

Glencomeragh House Retreat Center is located in a valley between the Comeragh Mountains and Slievenamon. The campus is bounded by a river to the south, and mature woodland to the west. The Poustinia are located on the Northern incline of the campus and are positioned close to existing plantings of mature broad-leaf trees, which form their entrance and terrace spaces. Each Poustinia is orientated to capture different views over the surrounding countryside and to give a variance in sun light as the day progresses. They are set into and over the hillside, which has been planted as a wild flower meadow with a variety in the mix that will create seasonal blooming. A circular path connects the Poustinia to the Main House and a network of paths and ponds that also lead to riverside and woodland walks. The building’s form creates its own trapped space of the site’s limestone. With the window shutters closed an inner space is created to encourage contemplation and meditation. A day bed opposite the window overlooking the wider landscape, allows rest to be enhanced by the enjoyment of the view. The locally sourced timber cladding in alternating strips of smooth sawn larch and rough sawn douglas fir contrasts with the minimalist interior with its bespoke furniture and suggests the conjunction of the temporal and the transcendent to which the retreat tradition is devoted.

Area — 40sq.m Completed Spring 2005.
