The renovation and extension of this colonial-style property responds to its unique location on La Palma island. Home to one of the most significant astronomical observatories in the Northern Hemisphere, the island enjoys some of the clearest skies in the world. The property’s faceted roof offers exceptional views as each skylight provides a unique aspect.

Situated in the old town of Los Llanos of Aridane, the house sympathetically references local materials and traditions in the use of a classic timber structure and the incorporation of internal courtyards. The property was completed in 2016.
