rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\">Far from being a mere housing development, Lagomar is a work of art in itself\u2014a testament to Manrique&#8217;s ability to transform volcanic geography into a habitable and aesthetically astonishing environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"274\" data-end=\"392\"><span class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\">The history of Lagomar dates back to the 1970s when British real estate developer Sam Benady acquired an old quarry of volcanic ash (rofe).<\/span> <span class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\">Fascinated by the uniqueness and potential of the terrain, Benady enlisted C\u00e9sar Manrique to develop a project that would respect and enhance the natural beauty of the site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"394\" data-end=\"472\"><span class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors duration-100 ease-in-out\">Manrique, true to his philosophy of minimal and harmonious intervention with the environment, conceived Lagomar as a complex of homes and communal spaces carved directly into the volcanic rock, utilizing natural cavities and the rough texture of the material.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"479\" data-end=\"529\">Organic architecture and integrated landscaping<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"531\" data-end=\"609\"><span class=\"relative -mx-px my-[-0.2rem] rounded px-px py-[0.2rem] transition-colors
