The project issues from the desire to create a bath and recreation area as core of
relationship between the two centenary houses of Can Xomeu Sord, located in the
Vénda de Sa Talaissa (La Mola) on the island of Formentera.
With the objective of the integration on the landscape, the intervention must be rooted
in the complex weave of walls and traditional dry stone outbuildings that characterize
this type of traditional rural settlements in the smaller of the Pitiüsas. This limitation
became an opportunity to formalize a subtle filter between the two houses that offers a
close but border meeting area, open to the beautiful view of the lighthouse of La Mola
but intimate, that permeates local tradition while echoes the modernity.
The space bounded by two parallel walls and an old farmyard, set the main guidelines,
the precise location and some of the construction details of the intervention. The water
sheet of four by fifteen meters searches tangency with the east wall, becoming
overflowing over it. The trace of the East wall coincides with the water surface but only
dematerialized to leave this footprint of gravels from the same stone as the wall. From
that precise limit continues free the natural and heterogeneous topsoil.
