The Homeland of Tranquility: the Olnick Spanu House by Alberto Campo Baeza
The house is located in profound tranquility place that reflects natural environment of the majestic Hudson River. The surrounding nature is impressive, the air is clean and soft, the space breathes with calmness… “A place where twilights are a thousand colours as the water breaks into a thousand reflections.” This was the association of Alberto Campo Baeza, the Spanish architect who designed this wonderful Olnick Spanu House.
It is highly transparent in the living and dining spaces to get the best view over the landscape on the top of the cement box, while the bedroom zone is very private in the solid cement box which is anchored to the ground. The construction looks like a large table with ten leds due to the light roof and the steel pillars under it. The glass walls underline the transparency and give the mild light to the interior.
