SIGILO

Cabanon in Peñalba de Santiago, ES

Arquia competition

April 2018

Sigilo is born of nature, in it is hidden, with it is dressed. The captivating valley and overwhelming vegetation are the germ of
a project that seeks to disappear in order to find silence.


Two stone walls are embedded in the mountain, a span is which lifts them up on the dirt road leading to the small village. Between them appears a hollow, a narrow entrance to the man-made cave. Those walls lead us from the cave to the forest, from darkness to light.


Sigilo aims to achieve harmony with the environment. The energy of the valley erects a space that penetrates the forest, is part of it.
