Petrae takes its origin in the volcanic ground of Lanzarote. The project is based on a principle of material removal. Architecture results from excavation of basalt. Spaces appear through subtraction, remaining masses define spatial limits.
Concrete ensures material continuity with the substrate. Its density and texture extend the logic of the ground. Formwork imprints structure the reading of surfaces. A regular grid organizes the whole.
The entrance imposes spatial compression. The route orients itself toward a central void that organizes circulation. Movements are articulated around this point of balance.
Light enters through openings oriented according to the solar path. Beams cut through planes and reveal the depth of volumes. Time inscribes itself through variations in light.
Exhibition spaces take shape as thick volumes. Floor, walls and ceilings participate in a single material continuity. Artworks are placed within this stability.
The structure relies on continuous shear walls. Technical systems are integrated within the thickness of the building. The whole maintains material and spatial homogeneity.
Petrae establishes a direct relation between matter, gravity and duration, based on a process of removal inscribed in the site’s geology.
