Four Seasons House by ch+qs

Developed in 2013 by Churtichaga+Quadra-Salcedo arquitectos, this contemporary wooden retreat is located in Berrocal, Spain. Description by ch+qs: This is a humanized landscape of meadows, walls, ash, streams, a small-scale landscape, minimal, practically domestic, and where completely everything takes place in yellow. In spring poke all yellow flowers. In the summer season, yellow cereal is yellow harvested in a yellow Castilian heat. Fall only comes here in yellow, millions of tiny ash leaves that die in a lingering and dry yellow. In winter, yellow insists in glowing flashes of yellow lichen on the gray trunks of ash trees. And right here each and every machine is yellow, the signs are yellow, everywhere yellows… We bought a meadow in this landscape 15 many years ago, and soon after 12 many years of yellow contemplation, we made the decision to develop a small home there, a refuge, a piece of landscape as a frame, a little inhabited threshold with 2 views, east and west. To the west, a close by see of rocks, moss, brambles and ancient ash. And to the east, the distant dawn in excess of the yellow mountains. This double see and the thinking entire body completed to draw the property. Almost everything is small, every little thing is short, every thing has a tiny scale. From outdoors, the view slides over the residence. The eye only stops at a yellow gate guarding the doorway, and a yellow chimney that warms it, the rest is invisible. And when sitting, stopping in the doorway, the house disappears and the planet continues in yellow.
