| Yhteenveto: | The “Casa com Duas Faces (House with Two Faces)” project (2010-2012), located in La Laguna (Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain) and constructed by Alejandro Beautell, has had a significant impact on specialized international media as an interesting example of architectural restoration. The house incorporates the inherent characteristics of a modern and contemporary home, and at the same time it creates new spacious formulations that dialogue in the same space with heritage and tradition. Beautell designed the courtyard as the symbolic element of connection between spaces of modernity and tradition: ground floor and first floor. Different textures of materials are used in the project to allow us to understand this simple and sincere building, which has a minimalist utopian vocation and intimate one too, unique in the Spanish contemporary architecture. This paper analyzes and contextualizes the work of this architect at Tenerife in its vernacular framework, noting the legislative characteristics of Canarian heritage.Keywords: History of Art, architecture in Tenerife, restoration. |
