Carbonero House occupies the landscape between the forest and the sea. Constructed from timber and blackened mesh, the ephemeral volume appears suspended. Its dark, porous envelope absorbs light rather than reflects it, dissolving mass into atmosphere and allowing wind, shadow, and sound to enter the architectural experience. Carbonero proposes architecture as provisional shelter, attentive to climate, terrain, and time.
