Emilio Ambasz' House of Spiritual Retreat

02.01.ambasz.jpg

Relatively small. Emilio Ambasz' house is surrounded only by the expanse of nature north of Seville, Spain...

 
 

The house itself, designed by Ambasz in the 1979, is actually not so small. But the first shot really makes it look small in its surroundings. Nonetheless, there are some beautiful, inspiring shots of the house taken by photographer Michele Alassio. The photographs of House of Spiritual Retreat are collected and shared in this book. Here are some of our favorites:

The interior spaces of the house are located underground, facing out onto a recessed terrace.

This house was profiled on "Worlds Most Extreme Homes" on HGTV. Interesting place, but I would never climb that precarious staircase to the cantilevered room in the tower.

Beautiful. Some of the photos on the website look like O'Keefe paintings.
