House on Tenerife
Costa Adeje, Spain
“Light is like air that penetrates through a musical instrument. The instrument plays only when air passes through it,” says Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza.
While cooperating with Spanish architects, we have always been impressed by their ability to create architecture defined by tension—between mass and emptiness, permanence and fragility, light and shadow. In Tenerife, the surrounding landscape becomes an inseparable part of this experience: the raw power of black volcanic rock meets the freshness and constant movement of the ocean. These observations shaped the idea of a house filled with ocean air and grounded in the solidity of stone.
We were invited to design a villa of over 300 m², set on a scenic site—an exceptional architectural opportunity. The lifestyle of the Canary Islands naturally aligns with the concept of an open house, where generous glazing and seamless transitions connect interior spaces with the surrounding landscape.
The ground floor, which accommodates the main living areas, was opened as much as possible to introduce maximum light and airflow into the interior. Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows frame views of the ocean and the garden with a tennis court, while solid walls along the neighboring plots ensure privacy. Technical and sanitary spaces are concealed within compact, closed volumes whose mass references the volcanic rock, creating a deliberate contrast with the openness and lightness of the living spaces. The private nighttime zone, including the bedrooms, is located on the first floor.
This contrast between the solid upper volume and the airy, light-filled ground floor defines the architectural framework of the building. When the windows are fully opened, ocean breezes flow freely through the house, moving between the solid forms and extending into the garden.
The architectural concept is complemented by interior finishes carefully selected to respond to the island’s climate and atmosphere. The result is a cohesive project encompassing architecture, interiors, and landscape design—an integrated living environment shaped by light, air, and place.
