House in Corrubedo

David Chipperfield, one of the most prestigious British architects, presents his touring exhibition “Form Matters” of the Design Museum in London for the first time in Spain.

Our chief designer, Arturo Álvarez, was pleasantly impressed that Chipperfield took a fancy to such a small and singular village full of charm in the coast of Galicia, a place where the prestigious architect decided to build his summer residence.

The peace and the calm which sweeps over Corrubedo, together with the special magic exuded could be a good reason. Here some pictures of the actions in this small part of the Atlantic coast where Chipperfield left also his own stamp.

This house is an authentic viewpoint to the Atlantic Ocean, a construction thought to let the sea be the main figure and to help anybody to enjoy it.

Once you have contact with his works, you understand everything and you realize that predilection for apparent simplicity is the key in all his works, sober and subtle but at the same time magnificent and elegant.

The beautiful forms he creates without stridency are able to relax the mind and transport us to a space where nothing is superfluous, everything is clean, translucent… it invites you to rest, exactly as the 3^rd floor of the Puerta América Hotel in Madrid.

Should you have the possibility to do it, don’t miss the touring exhibition of the Design Museum in London, titled: “Form Matters” which will take place at the Pedro Barrié de la Maza Foundation in A Coruña from the 25^th February. I would never miss it!
