Cottage in La Vera: Rustic Vacation Home Near Spanish Forests

Rustic, stone-walled rural building with wooden doors, surrounded by lush vegetation.

In a mountainous region in Spain, local studio Ábaton converted a labour house into a contemporary cottage that overlooks a nearby forest. Designed in 2024, Cottage in La Vera features traditional architecture and materials but with a modern twist. Dubbed a “non-intervention” in the territory by the studio, the renovation was intended to respect the existing building, using local materials from the land and old surrounding structures.
