Resembling a bridge, the scaly armour of the UCCA Clay Museum spans across the passageways to the neighbouring buildings. Where this structure touches the ground, Kengo Kuma & Associates arranged shallow water basins.
The volume comprises 730 beds and is structured into eight inter connected houses. Pergolas, trees, and roof terraces accentuate its courtyards.
The monastery originally comprised four wings and a cloister. In the south, a squat church with a single nave connects to the complex. The head building with its three apses, a bell tower, and a transept were added in the 13th century.
The house, at the fringe of the Mallorcan municipality of Puig­punyent, home to 2000 residents, contains six subsidised apartments accessed by two entrances.
The building impresses with its minimalist, modern architecture and sustainability. Its geometry and wooden facade allow it to blend into the landscape.
