The Cuevas del Pino estate sits in the foothills of Sierra Morena, in calcarenite stone terrain arranged in a slightly sloping strata that gives rise to various geological formations native to the area, among these are caves which resulted from quarrying that supplied Cordoba with stone during its most splendorous centuries. The architects have created a new spatial experience that manages to value the tectonic nature of the area through the use of new architectural elements. (Photo: David Vico)
