La Rama – Connected Space occupies a scenic area in Fantova, designed to serve as an artists' residence and educational complex. The project aims to blend the buildings with the natural landscape, fostering community engagement and encouraging sustainability alongside artistic activities.

Spatial Organization

The layout is organized around a central axis, which acts as the main pathway connecting different spaces across the site. This axis encourages visitors to move through the area on foot or with carts, maintaining a natural atmosphere while reducing car traffic. The intention is to create an inviting environment for exploration.

Central to La Rama is a public area designed for community interactions. This plaza serves as a focal point, providing space for various activities and allowing individuals to come together. It highlights the importance of cultural exchange and collective creativity among residents and artists.

Sustainability Integration

Sustainability is a key focus of the design. The project incorporates a construction system elevated on stilts, significantly reducing its environmental impact. By limiting development to 30% of the area, mature olive trees remain part of the landscape, which helps to preserve local biodiversity and promote an ecological balance.

Rainwater harvesting is implemented as a primary water management strategy. This allows the site to make efficient use of its natural resources. Skylights are strategically placed to provide natural light, enhancing energy efficiency while creating a connection between the interior and the surrounding environment.

The artist's residence features wide openings that frame views of the beautiful landscape of La Puebla de Fantova. These features allow plenty of natural light and fresh air to enter the living spaces. Such design choices encourage a sense of harmony with nature, enriching the daily experiences of those who inhabit the space.
