A precise architectural experiment, it unites walls, floors, and ceilings in one seamless gesture and informs the shape of each space that comprises the house. Once this folded sheet was spread, only floor-to-ceiling frameless glass panels, detached doors, and small cubicles \u2014 designed as freestanding furniture or sculptural, rocky elements \u2014 were distributed variably to accommodate the areas requiring enclosure. Further, the Spanish practice implements a carefully selected material palette throughout to establish ties with the location and the architectural traditions of the island.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"jagged, folded gestures wrap around caballero col\u00f3n's can tud\u00f3 house in spain\" width=\"818\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/can-tudo-private-house-in-paguera-mallorca-spain-1-680b808c9cf41.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>all images courtesy of Caballero Col\u00f3n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>the house intertwines with nature<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Can Tud\u00f3 is located on a steeply sloped plot with scenic views of Paguera Bay through the trees. An interior courtyard and two fissures on the south-facing glass enclosures bring vegetation into the house, interlacing indoor and outdoor spaces. 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.
