Spronken House by Architect Jaime Sanahuja

sanahuja & partners architecture studio- Spronken House project

sanahuja & partners architecture studio, founded by the Architect Jaime Sanahuja Rochera, based in Valencia and Ibiza has collaborated for their latest project which is the residence of  Dutch sculptor Xander, Spronken  House. “This is a very special project thanks to a collaboration with the prestigious Dutch sculptor Xander Spronken,” said architect Jaime Sanahuja

Xander’s work is mostly based on the manual of wrought iron, instills character into the house, and its strength is present in every corner and detail of the house.

The house is in a mountain environment in the hinterland of Castellón. Despite its mountainous surroundings, the area on which the house is located is flat and has magnificent views of the Natural Park of Peñagolosa to which the house is essentially oriented.

The concrete pillars, the wooden beams coming from the pylons of Rotterdam´s port and the iron and glass carpentry, show their true essence, without any artifices that could mask their character. Likewise, light plays another major role, flooding the home and appearing with games of light and shadow during the course of time that enhances the expressiveness of the materials.

The project is divided into two modules, one for the main house and the other one as a guest pavilion. Each of the modules is understood as a dwelling in itself, and the distribution of space is clear and transparent, with a ground floor and a small loft, both with great spatiality and openings to the outside. Without a doubt, if something is special about this home, it is its materiality.
