Designed by Emilio Ambasz in 1975, this genre-defying architectural oeuvre entitled “House for Spiritual Retreat” located in Spain draws inspiration from the Andalusian Moorish heritage of Spain and minimal architecture. The thin folding walls resemble an open book. Staircases lead up to a room which provides a panoramic view of the breath-taking landscape on the other side. The living quarters are actually located underground (providing thermal insulation) and open up to the courtyard. Simply one of the true architectural wonders of the world.
