Located in Sa Pobla, Mallorca, in an area known as "es Raiguer" the project is a newly built house for a family. With the Serra de Tramuntana as a spectator, NØRA Studio proposed a house in which dialogue with the environment, the use of natural materials, and good orientation, both solar and with the prevailing winds in the area, are key elements. 

The project seeks to recognize some aspects of traditional construction, such as sloping roofs, the use of earthy materials, and the typology of the holes, and take them to the extreme to achieve a house in consonance with current needs and way of life.

Two cross-shaped pieces are located on a flat piece of land in which day zones, night zones, and outdoor zones are distributed taking into account their solar orientation and the direct action of the wind, so important in local constructions. 

The clayey soil of the place, present in the area for the cultivation of vegetables, especially potatoes, sets a very special hue for much of the year. That is why in the important exercise of integrating a building into the environment with the presence that it presented, it was necessary to use materials of the same shades and textures.

The contact of this great piece on the ground seemed crucial to solving this question and the key material that allowed NØRA Studio to do it was the Fetdeterra. An "eco-innovative" product, as they define themselves, made up of 100% recyclable and environmentally sustainable materials. Only earth and lime form this interesting product that allows their to achieve this very natural finish and so integrated with the predominant tones in the rural area of Sa Pobla. 

At the heart of the house, at the intersection of the geometric cross of the building, is the day area, fully connected to the pool area and the rest of the outdoor space on the plot, generating good cross ventilation and full space of light.
