This project was developed in a privileged enclave on the Catalan coast, where light, orientation, and the simplicity of materials are essential to achieving a healthy and functional home.
The intervention consisted of the comprehensive renovation of a single-family home, with a clear objective: optimizing spatial quality through sustainability, without sacrificing the traditional character of the local architecture.
The design prioritized the entry of natural light, visual openness, and cross ventilation.
Spaces were reorganized to favor:
The proposal merges traditional Catalan aesthetics with the British sobriety of the owners, generating an architectural language that combines tradition and formal restraint.
Redistributing with bioclimatic logic, improving the building envelope, introducing healthy materials, and reconfiguring spaces allows for reduced energy consumption and increased comfort without major interventions.
Handcrafted ceramics, solid wood without synthetic varnishes, mineral mortars, silicate or lime paints, and natural insulation such as cork or wood wool.
Yes. Green building proposes acting with respect, adapting the home to current uses without altering its constructive logic or its cultural and spatial value.
It reduces the need for artificial lighting, improves indoor health, and thermally regulates spaces, especially when combined with cross ventilation and good orientation.
