Church Appendage in Jerez
In the Andalusian city Jerez, the Brotherhood of the Holy Cross is lodged between an exterior wall of the San Juan de los Caballeros church and a stone facade believed to date to the late eighteenth century. This narrow slot is in essence a structural cavity which organises the church’s massive buttresses in three segments. The aforementioned elaborate facade, with the customary cantilevering balconies, was designed – comparable to a stage set – in a dialogue with the outdoor space, oblivious to the diminutive spaces behind it. It was possible to eke out just two small rooms and a stairway per floor.
