Madrid studio Extrarradio has designed a refuge in the Sierra de Gredos inspired by traditional Castilian constructions in a sustainable and contemporary key. San Miguel de Corneja is a small town in Ávila with barely 40 inhabitants that perfectly exemplifies the so-called emptied Spain.
Prado Toro is a natural area of 10,000 m2 surrounded by a stream that was once used for cow grazing and which until now was abandoned. “You leave the car and forget about the hustle and bustle and stress of the city,” says the architect.
