A few summers ago, a workman called at the house of David Chipperfield and his wife, Evelyn Stern, in Corrubedo, a Galician village on Spain’s northwest coast. Dropping off sacks of clean bed linens, he spotted a crowd around the breakfast table and began commiserating with Evelyn about the headaches of “the season,” what with his laundry business and her pensión. Pensión? She answered politely with something like, “Oh, that’s just us and our friends.”

The mix-up was understandable given how freely the Chipperfields play host. Over the years, as visiting friends have multiplied, they’ve bought and renovated three houses here within a minute’s walk from their own, for a total of 27 beds. The hospitality hasn’t stopped there. Late in 2019, before the family’s pandemic retreat from Britain to Spain, Chipperfield decided the townspeople of Corrubedo needed a new hangout. The nearest city, Santiago de Compostela, is an hour’s drive through deciduous woodlands and rock-strewn pastures, past fish-canning factories and deep, watery gorges—a long way to go for a good meal.
