In the Nineteen Sixties, José Yélamos left Almería to to migrate to Catalonia in the hunt for work. When he returned along with his financial savings, he introduced the concept of constructing a home in Serón, the city the place he was born. So far, the identical story as that of hundreds of individuals from Almeria… But from right here the story adjustments as a result of José got down to construct “a home like nobody had constructed earlier than.”
“I considered a home mounted on a pillar that could possibly be circled,” says José, “my intention was to have the ability to put it on no matter aspect I wished.” No sooner mentioned than executed. This is how the Serón revolving home was born, which this man from Almería designed and constructed with all the pieces he had realized working for 12 years as a bricklayer in Catalonia.
Under the bottom, two meters deep stuffed with iron and cement. “I could not dig any extra due to the cliffs within the terrain,” says its builder, who inserted the iron “between the rocks of the caves” to present the home extra safety. In case it snowed, on the roof he positioned three-centimeter-thick ground tiles. In this manner the snow at all times slips and there’s no hazard “that it accumulates and sinks the home.”
Thirty years
Years have handed and the home continues to be standing simply because it was constructed 30 years in the past. However, now José desires to place a motor on it in order that it rotates mechanically, “however he’s very costly,” he explains to NIUS. At the second he makes use of a extra rudimentary mechanism: a rope connected to his Patrol or a tractor that pulls the home making it rotate.
“It was a whim”, admits José, however that whim now attracts appears from everywhere in the world, beginning with these of his personal neighbors. However, it isn’t unusual to see individuals from exterior come to see his home. “They come from Barcelona and even foreigners,” says José, who remembers how a German supplied to rent him to make one similar to it. Jose refused. “I needed to go to Germany and I’m very choosy about meals,” confesses this man from Almería.
Those who’ve visited it, don’t forget it. “Once a pal was having a drink at residence and requested me to maneuver it,” remembers José. She didn’t need to get out of the home in the course of the flip. So when he got here again he informed her: “This is the primary time I’ve began having a drink in a single place and with out transferring I completed it on the different finish.”
It is the magic of a home whose home windows change panorama daily, able to looking for shade fleeing from the warmth or aiming on the solar on the coldest days of the 12 months. “It’s superb,” says José, the bricklayer who constructed a home that appears like a thousand, with satisfaction.
