2

The intervention takes place on the island of cabrera a touristic island with a protected natural landscape with special plant species. The guardians of the parc welcome yearly millions of tourists. A new building households accomodation for the guards. The building consists out of two volumes with an internal courtyard, which offers a botanical garden with plants of the island. The shape derives from the idea of reusing the historical agricultural terraces on the island so that it can respond to the sloping context. The two volumes are divided into a private one with the rooms for the guardians and in the other building the semi public part with the reception, meeting room and offices for the guardians. All spaces come together under a single sloping roof that emphasizes the slope of the landscape. The building serves as a gate that indicates the start of the route towards the castle.
