Can Cumodo, Ibiza

The aim of the project is the rehabilitation and ampliation of a traditional rural Ibizan house, using characteristic materials of the local tradition and removing some typological and constructive alterations where possible.

The ampliation is proposed as a new piece located on the upper terrace. Its position is perpendicular to the topography, adjusting to the lay of the land. The piece follows an “L” scheme, a common typology in rural Ibizan architecture, so the shape of an open house surrounding a countryside opened to south is preserved. Pre-existing elements in the site such as terrace’s walls, cultivations, etc., become part of the new ampliation piece proposed.
