“Esta vivienda en Ibiza, de Andrés Jaque, se aleja del clásico concepto arquitectónico que impera en la isla pitiusa. Es una casa elevada sobre pilares metálicos [para no modificar su territorio], con cubiertas ascendentes y pintada del color del cielo [para no interrumpir las vistas]. Este proyecto, bautizado como Never Never Land, es finalista a los premios FAD de Arquitectura 2010.” m2lab

“The architects made four major decisions; to minimize tree and shrub removal (…), raise more than 80% of the building mass on piles (…), cluster all the waste filtering and treatment equipment and compensate for the amount of substrate affected by the foundation by including an equivalent mass of substrate in various parts of the skin around the buildings” Designboom
“Spanish architect Andrés Jaque has completed this house on a sloping site in Ibiza with a jumble of cascading terraces supported on stilts. He area where this house is placed is a picturesque natural hill far from the island’s major tourist attractions.

Andrés Jaque invade Ibiza con un proyecto que se debate entre realidades arquitectónicas, y posibilidades líricas. Como lo indica su nombre: Casa Never Never Land, está inspirada en el mismo Peter Pan. La exploración de escenarios imposibles, el contraste entre el mundo real y el mundo del deseo, son ante todo planteamientos surrealistas que el estudio madrileño experimentó en torno a este pintoresco proyecto. No obstante la Casa Never Never Land, logra encontrar un espacio claro en el que se articula el soporte medioambiental con espacios del deseo y escenarios de seguridad financiera.
Awards
