Stone toolshed as timeless mediterranean tiny home (25m2)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- When Pascual Alberola and his partner went looking for a weekend house near their home in Valencia (Spain), they wanted to avoid the built-up Mediterranean coastline. While exploring a sheltered valley just an hour and a half south of their city, they stumbled upon a plot of land on a protected hillside zoned for agricultural use.
The land is covered in cherry trees, the views of the Mediterranean are spectacular and neighbors here are sparse, but the largest building they could legally build on their plot was an agricultural tool shed, a "casa de aperos". So they called on architects Enproyecto Arquitectura to create a shelter within the maximum permitted size of 25 square meters (269 square feet) and build them a tool shed as a home.
"El refugio en La Vall de Laguar" (the refuge in the Laguar Valley) is arguably one of the most stunning tool sheds ever built, but the small, stone structure doesn't call attention to itself. Its local stone walls- built in the "dry" method (without concrete)- mimic the stone-containing walls of the surrounding fields. Most of the windows, except for the large openings providing a view of the sea, are tiny. So from a distance, the home resembles yet another of the boulders dotting the mountainside.
Inside, the house takes a more modern turn with all white walls and black-painted steel girders. To maximize space, the architects lofted the bedroom though without using any support columns downstairs, creating the feeling of a "flying bedroom".
They also created a thicker lateral wall where they hid dozens of cabinets for "tools" large and small (cleaning and gardening equipment, table coverings, and all types of storage). The wall also houses closets, a fireplace/oven, and recessed windows used as reading alcoves.

That's the true spirit of Mediterranean housing! As our brothers in Spain, here in Crete, we also started renovating our old barns and tool sheds, specially since the crisis stroke us.
I've been researching into building sheds and found a great resource at Adota Blueprint Pack (google it if you're interested)
The stone work on the exterior is an absolute masterpiece of craftsmanship. So beautiful.
The reason they built to this size specifically was because it was the largest sized home they were allowed. As they mention, this land was zoned for agriculture so permitting allowed for just a 25m2 tool shed. Though it's a good point about the cellar. They also were allowed 50m2 (538 sq ft) underground so that is the next phase of the project. Though it's being created using all natural light (from skylights) since it's supposed to be a cistern.
Thanks Kirsten! I am from Alicante myself and I was looking for house inspiration, then I stumbled across this one video. PS. Any updates on the basement? : )
@@chantik Hola! I'm from Barcelona area and I'm seriously looking to do something like this, any websites you'll recommend we're they have "Casa de aperos" for sale? Thank you, Cristian :)
'its better for the prostrate' should be the mantra of tiny homes! i like the floating loft and i am fascinated by the loose stone exterior. all those cherry and olive trees must smell wonderful too!
I could live here full time; beautiful stone work and there's such a sense of space and volume. Thanks again for your sensitive work...no music, just the odd sounds of people and nature.
My God! The skill to build that shed! 95% of houses aren't built that well. I would be proud to call that home.
Dave Underwood It's too expensive to build that way nowdays, materials&craftsmanship
The idea of keeping the materials consistent with the environment is unique and that's what makes it 'one' with its surroundings. Good job!!
Great job guys...👍👍😉😉
I had the privilege of visiting Spain in 2014. The Spanish people are the most beautiful I have ever seen.
gracias!😚
What a beautiful and simple house. Just watching this video gave me the sense of peace I so crave.
It's a sweet feeling when people love their house
Perfection! A place like this on weekends ... or any day, really!! ... would be a slice of heaven.
It was a spectacular interview And they hear him speak in Spanish and others in Colombia for a long time Who is Neat just to hear him speak.. I really had a great passion for us place..
I think it’s a great gift that I have to speak Spanish and I can hear it so beautifully when he explains everything it’s just really nice not exactly what you did in Spanish translation to English.. but it was nice that you didn’t do that for everyone else but for me it was nice to get to hear him speak about the kinds of rock they used in the way it was done just amazing what you get out of there words it has more gravity…
I love the bathroom. Perfect sized, tucked away under the stairs for a room rarely used, yet still has a full size shower. for a "shed" with few windows, they ones it does have are perfectly placed. Very nice work and very well thought out spaces.
Excellent video as always! I love looking at all the places people store things. Some people have never understood the luxury of having everything so close at hand because they've never lived in a small place. To say nothing of the sense of purpose and clarity that small efficient designs can impart. Thanks for the inspiration!
Agreed ! Succinct perfection !
This is absolutely gorgeous! What an amazing, unique home!
linda casa, bello lugar! se integra muy bien con el paisaje y las tradiciones arquitectonicas regionales, muy bien el concepto minimalista
This place is just brilliant, I would love tho spend a whole month there. Very romantic and very cozy, love the outdoor shower. The view down the mountain is breath taking, Spanish: me gusto mucho es maravilloso.
omg i love this house i would love to live here. id give up tv for life
The most beautiful tool shed in the world! I love the "tools for working in the fields" can fit into a little compartment.
**This house s wonderful!**

"We have the TV there" - How cute is this? ;-)
Intricate workmanship of laying the stone walls. This place is great
I could happily live there. The surroundings are so beautiful.
I have seen this house before years ago. I don't remember if it was as fancy as this but I still love it, especially that bedroom. I also love the small oven over the fireplace 😍😍. Whenever they move, I will gladly take it off of their hands.
Para ke vivir en una mansion , esta casita esta perfecta.
Damn that couch is awesome!
johnny t pretty sure it's from Ikea
What a beautifully-designed space! I love all the little details, especially how the exterior matches the stone walls used in the surrounding area.
Que bonita casita y me gusta qué los vídeos sean en idioma es interesante otras costumbres y cómo viven
Very often casas de aperos don‘t have running water / electricity! What about this one? So beautiful!
Wow i love this house, would love to live there!
Me encanta este canal de UA-cam, siempre arquitectura tan interesante y bien hecha.
A tool shed with a million dollar view, Beautiful!
What a beautiful home in a beautiful area
Your videos are so beautifully composed and shot. Thank you.
This house looks great. With the exception of the tiny bathroom, I think I couldn't get used to this.
They live in a field of wild flowers...
I have found my new life's goal. I want to live in a field of wild flowers...
and cherry trees. yum!
This is such a beautiful home.
The stone wall are amazing, so neat.
Hi, Greet from Indonesia. My imagination always loves to make my future-dream house about mix this with the abandoned hayloft on Costa Brava estate and the abandoned stable video you've posted. Can't surf on youtube without your channel anyway. Favourite!
Auditya Gunawan You already live in a beautiful and warm country (with a fantastic cuisine), so if I were you, I’d let this house inspire me and build my own dream house on a mountain slope looking out at the sea. :-)
Simple y sencillamente me encanta... la vida de la ciudad es linda también porque crecí en ella, pero el campo me hace suspirar... así que cuando me compre una casa sera en el campo con toda esa vista a las montañas. gracias por ese video... y que bueno es encontrar el amor de tu vida y que ambos compartan las mismas cosas.
wow it must be great to wake up in such a house on a sunny day
The hanging loft solution esta genial. Gracias
Muy hermosa casita! Me gustaria visitar un dia... Such a cute little house - very inspiring!
That's beautiful and they are so lovely:)
This is almost exactly what my dream tiny house looks like in my head, only the closets are better!
Excellent house!
I love the simple house, that has such great functionality
That's amazing. I'm jealous.
I was living in almost the same size and design house near Barcelona. It really looks nice, only it is cold during winter.
But he said the fireplace heats the house well,even upstairs.
hey! I'm from Barcelona too, any websites recomendations you have to look for casa de aperos for sale? Thank you, Cristian :)
@@cristianhernandez632 kyero used to be very good site
@@Rainaman- Thank you! It only seems to have good stuff around Tarragona tought
This is really a nice place. I recently drew plans to convert an old barn on my mother's property. Had all the estimates for completion and assured her I would have my own utility connections. It is 400' from her house. She liked the design, but said no. Unfortunately she said she didn't want me for a neighbor.
Really nice! Thank you Kristen for finding this!
Another tiny masterpiece!
Great design. Great use of space. I like form and function.
i love this house..its awesome plus the view
This is so lovely. And well, great view too :)
I think, for those who live day by day in the big city, this is like heaven.
Nice house, good video! Thanks!
Wow. Beautiful 😍
Beautiful and well designed. Well done.
I love that shearling bedspread !
I would guess that at the tallest point it isn't more than 16 feet high. I'm about 6 feet tall and on both floors there was probably about 2 feet above my head (at the highest point upstairs.. there was less near the head of the bed where it slopes down).
Kirsten, It is so refreshing that even after you put so much quality into the creation of these wonderfully informative videos that you also clarify, further educate and allow us to share the same thirst and joy with your ongoing replies to our comments. You too are a joy and like a few others ( Jay Shafer, Bryce etc.) true UA-cam Gems! Thank You for ALL YOU DO ! Stay Well, Sincerely, Pete.
I would love to live like this.
Love views
This house is my favorite so far!
Best House for Single 😄.. Perfect Tinyhouse
What more could you want. Love it 💕😊
Beautiful. Love it. Thanks again, Kirsten!
a little piece of heaven..
Beautiful home.
Awesome place! good looking couple ,too.
I adore your home ♡
Me ha encantado 🥰
Stone is beautiful for sure, cool in summer, cold in winter but great place,, love it. Put solar heat in the walls and you have super place. Out buildings add your place a castle. Few animals, garden, trim trees, yea great life
This is a really nice house ive ever since i started watching these videos ive been wanting to build something like this
😱 me and my son need it! It's amazing place to be.
Maravilloso vídeo, fantástica casa.
good stuff
awesome home
absolutely amazing !
wow. Beautiful!
Que lindo! Sou apaixonada por casas de pedras, aqui no Brasil não se vê tanto.
awesome work
The government requires it to be a tool shed (btw what business is it of theirs?).. so they have a single drawer with 'tools'.. good response!
Love this haus! Now all I would need is a garage. :))
This is grate, Beautiful.
Great!
Preciosa!
Amazing Esthetics! Great Design. Solar Panels? Grid? When You Want To Watch Tv, Open A Window! Great Stuff!
Thank you, I'm sure you're very busy, but what I think is funny is that what or who defines a "tool"? In reality any obeject could actually be defined as a tool in one way or another!
Some people are or can be used as a ' tool ' as well ;)
Great
Awesome!
i have that couch at home, as my bed :D
it's the "MÅNSTAD" from IKEA
Beautiful intelligent design in a stunning tranquil setting. I have never seen a supporting column like that. Clever and elegant. When are we going? 😂😂😁
You driving? ;)
@@petemavus2948 If you want to risk my driving Yes LOL
@@claredodd1258 you seem like fun, I probably would "risk" it. Unless you drive as badly as my sister and talk on phones while you threaten to kill people and verbally abuse me ! roflmao Stay Well !
@@petemavus2948 Good on ya. My driving is 'fun'. I make the screeching noises and everything! Would have to be in my favourite car MX5 convertible. 😎👍😂
@@claredodd1258 cool I'm packing my bags now, I even have a long scarf ;)
Adorable! and I also have this mind to equip my little bedroom.
Fire place is the coolest
how do you source your water and your electricity?
My question too.
The stone work ❤️
i love this!
For God's sake man ! - It's a home NOT a shed ! It's a spacious and beautiful, elaborate house :)
i love this house!!!
I'm mostly jealous of the cherry trees. 😢
