When Carlos Alonso and his sister Camino were looking for a country home for their extended family, they stumbled upon an abandoned stable in rural Extremadura in Spain and recognised it as a special place. High on a hill and far from city water or an electrical grid, the crumbling cow shed was far from the conventional image of luxury estate, but Carlos and Camino run the prestigious Madrid architecture firm Ábaton Architecture and could envision a transformation.

The result is nothing short of breathtaking, and the video below explains it the way words and images alone never could.

    I am so glad I watched the video. Calling it outstanding will be an underestimation. Pure joy to the soul.
