Can Tudó

Can Tudó is located on a steeply sloped plot with stunning views of Paguera Bay through the pine trees. The project was conceived as a playful exercise with precise rules: a single sheet, through its folds, generates all the spaces that comprise the house. Roofs, walls, and interior and exterior floors are configured using the same element.
Once the folded sheet was created, only floor-to-ceiling frameless glass panels, detached doors, and small cubicles—designed as freestanding furniture or sculptural, rocky elements—are distributed variably to accommodate the areas requiring enclosure.
The use of these design rules allows us to blur the boundaries between interior and exterior, as well as between nature and the home. An interior courtyard and two fissures on the south-facing glass enclosures bring vegetation into the residence, seamlessly intertwining indoor and outdoor spaces like interlaced fingers. Thus, plants replace walls, creating divisions, while the overlapping trunks, branches, leaves, and flowers of the selected species offer an ever-changing interplay of views across interconnected spaces.
The elements placed on the folded sheet—containing wardrobes, sinks, bathtubs, showers, fireplaces, planters, and more—are conceived as isolated pieces of furniture freely arranged in the space. This allows the residents to enjoy the house’s views from every corner. The material palette used for these elements has been carefully selected to establish ties with the location and the architectural traditions of the island.
Beneath the apparent arbitrariness of the design lies a pursuit of a more complex, playful, and hedonistic living space, as well as the pleasure of knowing that its inhabitants will discover uses, games, and qualities that were never imagined by the architects who designed it.
