Astronomical observatory in Porto Cristo

In the green area next to Torre dels Falcons, in a 12 square metres, situated between a cottage and an ancient oven, the local government proposed us the realization of a small astronomical observatory, which will be used as headquarters of astronomical Newton club. This zone is ideal to observe stars because of its little light pollution. The programme consisted of an only room where to place an electronic telescope, south oriented and a bit high in order to exceed attached constructions. The project was created like a box that can be opened on all sides to allow for maximum views. It was made with contemporary materials, but with a volume that not distorted attached constructions.
