The idea behind the house

The architecture is informed by the Fibonacci sequence and inspired by the works of Donald Judd, Luis Barragan and Mies van der Rohe

Donald Judd

Donald Judd's Progression sculpture in anodized aluminium

Judd expressed the Fibonacci sequence in minimalist forms. The house is structured like one of his Progression sculptures - the voids and volumes unfolding in glass and concrete.

Luis Barragan

Las Arboledas, Concrete and water, 1957.Mexico City

Concrete walls and water at Luis Barragan's Las Arboledas

The master of emotional geometry provided the atmospheric inspiration for Can Fibonacci - monumental walls which become canvases for the play of shadows from the surrounding forest.

Mies van der Rohe

Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion with its reflecting pool

Mies distilled architecture to its essential elements: plane, column, reflection, proportion and space. The Barcelona Pavilion informs Can Fibonacci’s pursuit of radical clarity - calm living spaces unfolding through light and shade.
