Based in Cordoba, Spain, what could be better designed than this beauty Cordoba House in the comfortable lap of mother nature! Designed by Emilio Ambasz, this wonderful house has been created in the Arabic-Andalusian architectural style and situated on a promontory that juts out into a beautiful lake. It has been developed at the far end of the road where it becomes a part of a big bunch of olive trees. Built using a special local technique, Cordoba House was initially developed in an open space using bricks and concrete, and then was mounded by the insulating cast sand. Under Southern Spain's dry and hot climatic conditions, Cordoba House is a soothing, restful place where a unique blend of concrete floor, insulated double walls, slender columns, buried surfaces and fiberglass lining is presented in a stylish artistic manner.
