caballeriza la solana

Nicolas Pinto Da Mota as Architects

This project consists in extending a set of buildings in which there is a horse farm crioles. The farm already had some sheds and other precarious constructions based in the typical scheme of nave with gable roof. These constructions prefigured the first approximation to the scale and typology of the new building.


Neutrality and a certain lack of leadership give the building the chance to dialogue and establish a wise relation with the context. Also there is an exploration in the technique, which gives a step forward based on the traditional brick constructions


The choice of the materials and the axial disposal of the program where chosen to provide the horses a stable way of life. The program contemplates two different areas: an area of boxes and another of veterinary and saddles room.


Measures, sizes, provisions and heights are a consequence of the needs thoroughbred horses have to circulate and move. This where taken into account to determine the height and the structure measurements of the building.
