Natural artifice

Ensamble Studio, La Trufa, a piece of built nature

Abstract

On a steep rock ridge lapped by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, along the coast of Galicia, within a thick pine forest, a block of stone opens its heart to house a small poetic dwelling. A 25-square-metre room becomes the soul of the sturdy boulder. Here natural and artificial meet, confront each other and generate a constant dialogue between nature and human intervention.
