The rehabilitation project undertaken by SANTZO arquitectos involves the restoration of an old, abandoned pigsty located in a small rural hamlet within the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Natural Park, in Santiago-Pontones, Jaén. Addressing contemporary housing challenges, the proposal aims to repurpose this traditional mountain building typology, highlighting local craftsmanship and trades as practices that should be preserved and passed on to future generations.
The presence of similar structures scattered throughout the region led the studio to begin an inventory and mapping of these buildings, with the goal of promoting the replication of the prototype in other abandoned pigsties, corrals, mills, or barns in the area. The intention is to establish a network of small pavilions capable of accommodating hybrid, adaptable, and flexible living arrangements.
