Casa Gaspar

ALBERTO CAMPO BAEZA, ARCHITECT
GASPAR HOUSE, VEJER, CÁDIZ (SPAIN) 1992

At the client's insistence on absolute independence, it was decided to create an enclosed
precinct, a "hortus conclusus" orclosed grove. The house, defined by four enclosure walls of
3.5 meters, is based on a square measuring 18 x 18 meters which is subdivided into three
equal parts. Only the central portion is roofed.The square is then divided transversely by
two, 2 meter high, walls into three parts with the proportions A, 2A, A, the service pieces
being located on the sides. The roof of the central space istaller, 4.5 meters high. At the
points where the low walls intersect with the taller ones, four openings of 2 x 2 meters are
made and simply glazed. It is through these four openings that thehorizontal plane of stone
paving expands, effectively obtaining a continuity of interior and exterior.
The white color of all the parameters contributes to the clarity and continuity of the
architecture.The double symmetry of the composition is emphasized by the symmetric
placement of four lemon trees, which produce contemplative reflections.
The Light in this house is horizontal and continuous,mirrored by the east-west orientation of
the courtyard walls. Simply, a horizontal, continuous, space is tensed by a horizontal light.
