The secular action of Cadaqués population interpreting
the natural space and setting out the stone terraces in a dry process for the
planting of olive trees and grapes, it is a morphologic characteristic of “Cap
de Creus”. The course of time and the scanty means, they thought a technique
and trace the system ground rules that optimize the natural resources.
In an olive grove placed at the limit of “Ses
Oliveres” beach and a certain distance of the old part of the village, is where
that residence is projected. The stone terraces are parallels a the old stream
that canalize the “tramontana” dry wind and, following the slope turn to west
to receive the freshness of “garbí”… walls between 40 and 70-cm-high that with separations
between 4 and 5 metres
help to exceed the original drop of the topography, placed to continue the line
of minimum slope. About 15 olive trees, 10 pines, 5 cypress and 2 mimosas, form
the vegetal mass that crosses the plot from the east to the west, leaving a
north gab that, as one, answer to the more elevated heights since where we meet
again the sea.
The house do not use up all the regulatory
height because it searchs the horizon between the ground and the olive leaves.
New horizontal planes from the old stream since the overhead of the plot turned
up, passing through a ground floor that, as a gab inside the dig rock and the
pre-existing olives, has a good thermal inertia and crossed ventilation agreed
with the dominant winds. The structure of the bearing wall is drawn up tangent
to the original structure of the agricultural construction… The terraces that
were removed to build the new topography go back adapting itself to other
needs, taking roots of the act of living again in the place.
