Angel Palomar´s architectural landscape triumphs in the Costa Blanca
The other day I rea dan interesting article about the work of landscape architect Angel Palomar. His passion for plants and his canvas are the facades of the Mediterranean Costa Blanca.This artist has been working on his profession for 35 years and his main works are the bioclimatic houses, in order words small havens where housing is part of the landscape and plants and trees provide optimal conditions for achieving a microclimate with excellent environments cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Their houses are marked because the roofs are replaced by tapestries covered herbs, native vegetation and palmaceas. The goal is to create a human and natural habitat.
Another feature is the flat roofs that are up to a meter high. They are covered by geotextile, and are filled with compost and volcanic lava base are made for plantations.
These covered gardens are what give the shelter a microclimatic condition that are very suitable, since the vegetation takes advantage of the shadow areas that create and a perfect home situation. Most of his projects are in Xàbia, Altea and Moraira.
