La Vera – Selgas Cano

La Vera – Selgas Cano

2022

Known for their vibrant, translucent structures and experimental forms in projects like Second Home and public buildings across Europe and Africa, architects José Selgas and Lucía Cano take a markedly different approach in their own rural weekend retreat. In contrast to their signature colorful, bulbous architecture, this private house embraces a raw, rustic sensibility, with irregular surfaces and minimal intervention.

Stripped of polish and spectacle, the house reveals a more elemental relationship to material and place, foregrounding texture, informality, and retreat. It reflects a personal, quieter architecture—one that trades luminosity for earthiness, and high-tech fabrication for handmade immediacy—showcasing another facet of SelgasCano’s sensibility.
