The Plot

The estate “A Regueira” is located in the small village of Rioaveso, in Villalba, Lugo. The land, slopes slightly towards the south, covers an area of 15.000 m2 and preserves a quaint forest in the northeast. Three original stone buildings were centered built on the site: a manour house, an antique woodshop and a small shed.

The Solution

The project involved the complete restoration of the manour house – including additions to the dwelling, the transformation of the woodshop into a library, the remodelling of the shed into a guesthouse, and the construction of a garage and a swimming pool removed from the original buildings. Furthermore, the access to the estate was moved to the north, between the guesthouse and the garage.

The materials

The restauration and remodeling of the estate was much like a surgical intervention, carefully expanding the original house through a series of abstract volumes. The only materials used in the renovation, concrete and chestnut wood, establish a serene dialogue with the sober construction of granite and slate.
