La Casa Plisada (The Pleated House), Mas Camarena, Bétera, Spain (by Gallardo Llopis Arquitectos)
The consolidated Mas Camarena housing estate (Bétera) situated to the northeast of Valencia houses this dwelling entitled “The pleated house” in which the play of surfaces, volumes and sheets gives rise to a project in which privacy and architectural harmony take precedence.
The house develops as a slender built element that folds, embracing the spaces it shapes with each fold, in a set of solid pleated sheets that with each rhythmic movement rock the interiors that are partly concealed and partly open, insinuating and concealing, opening and closing.
