All inhabitable projects, such as the Landaburu Borda Country House, are the result of a dream and straight thinking. The developer and owner, Gorka Ibargoyen, found this centenarian country manor nestled in a forest in the Bera valley in Navarra. The building and the place seemed suitable for a holiday lodging project, for guests to disconnect from everything beyond the surrounding forest’s borders and reconnect with nature.
To make his project a reality, Gorka Ibargoyen struck up an alliance with architect Jordi Hidalgo Tané. Between the two of them, they made this concept a reality, giving birth to this country home: creating fruitful dialogue between old and new, ancestral tradition and modernity, craftsmanship and technology, to build a contemporary living space rife with the future.
The original manor, built of stone and designed to last over time, was left intact in tribute to a valuable inheritance, a construction and cultural tradition that dialogues with the new project and enriches it. The new construction, housing the day area, is joined to the old manor by means of a glass tunnel. This new volume is “hidden” under a slope covered in growing vegetation, so it does not invade the natural setting or overbear the original construction. Past and present, joined by an invisible link.
Wood is the raw material that links the house with the environment, the leafy oak forest protecting the house and endowing it with oxygen and life. At Landaburu Borda, PARKLEX PRODEMA products took on a star role in different indoor projects, thanks to their material quality, easy installation and resistance to moisture and intensive use. The natural oak selected to finish these products covers vertical and horizontal walls, floors and ceilings, comprises the kitchen furnishings and transforms the shower into a one-of-a-kind experience. It also imbues the interior with stylistic coherence.
Under the carefully selected natural appearance of the oak, the product’s different layers conceal a technological process that is the result of research and creativity. It makes the virtues of wood, its natural feel and warmth, compatible with technical requirements for proper installation.
Landaburu Borda is a good example of when the industry allies itself with design and architecture, reaching their shared main objective: improving the lives of people through efficiency and creativity.
The Landaburu Borda Country House has been confirmed as a finalist project in the 2020 FAD Awards. The jury has made a selection of projects defined as “attentive to context, strategy and trade, in dialogue with space, time, matter, body and nature; an architecture with a purposeful spirit, which generates systems rather than objects”.
所有宜居住宅项目，诸如 Landaburu Borda 乡间宅邸，都是梦想与清醒思考的结晶。开发商兼业主 Gorka Ibargoyen 在纳瓦拉贝拉山谷（Bera valley）的森林深处发现了这座百年庄园。建筑与场所似乎正适合一个度假旅居项目——让客人在森林边界之外的一切中抽离，与自然重新连接。
为实现这一愿景，Gorka Ibargoyen 与建筑师 Jordi Hidalgo Tané 结成同盟，二人携手将概念变为现实，孕育出这栋乡间住宅：在新与旧、祖先传统与现代性、手工艺与科技之间展开富有成效的对话，建造一个洋溢着未来气息的当代居住空间。
原有的石砌庄园被完整保留，以致敬这份宝贵的传承——一种与新技术对话并使之丰盈的建筑与文化传统。容纳日间区域的新建部分，通过一条玻璃隧道与老宅相连。这一新体量「隐匿」于覆满生长植被的坡地之下，既不侵扰自然环境，也不压倒原有建筑。过去与现在，由一条无形的纽带相连。
木，是将住宅与环境相连的原材料——葱郁的橡树林守护着住宅，赋予它氧气与生命。在 Landaburu Borda，PARKLEX PRODEMA 产品凭借其材料品质、便捷安装与对潮湿及高强度使用的耐抗性，在室内各处担纲主角。精心甄选的天然橡木饰面包覆墙面与地面、地板与天花板，构成厨房家具，并将淋浴间化作独一无二的体验，同时赋予室内风格上的连贯性。
在橡木精心呈现的天然外观之下，产品的各层结构中蕴含着研发与创造力的技术结晶——它让木的优势、天然触感与温暖，同正确安装所需的技术要求得以兼容。
Landaburu Borda 是工业与设计、建筑结盟的典范，达成共同的主要目标：以效率与创造力改善人们的生活。
Landaburu Borda 乡间宅邸已入选 2020 年 FAD 奖决赛。评审团如此描述入选项目：「注重语境、策略与工艺，与空间、时间、物质、身体和自然对话；一种富有目标感的建筑——生成的是系统，而非物件」。
