Article source: 08023 · Architecture + Design + Ideas The goal of this project, at the explicit request of the owners, is to combine modern architecture with recovered elements from other buildings in a harmonious contrast between old and new. The result is an open plan sunny architecture, flooded with light. An architecture that is sensitive to the history of objects and recover their memory in a new home.  Image Courtesy © Simón García

The lights of North, South, East and West, with their different qualities, are introduced in different areas of the house. Old spirits of forgotten buildings come to life in a new home. The shutters of a demolished building of the Barcelona Eixample live again in the new openings. The steel plates of a dismantled steel mill are used to build the staircase. Large industrial lamps hung remember their old home in higher buildings.  Image Courtesy © Simón García And the door. A small jewel recovered from and old public building in the province of Barcelona. In the hands of the same carpenter who restored part of the Gaudí building Casa Batlló, sign our way from outside to inside the house. It was not restored, it was adapted to make it work properly and let the signs of time, writings, engravings and incisions in the wood show life still flows in its veins. But the house needs to talk. Needs to communicate with the environment. No fences are placed and the plot boundaries are blurred. The same trees and grass species are planted inside and outside of the plot. A few months after finishing the works was no limits between the forest and the plot.

We work with emotions, needs and desires of the people, adapting to the different demands of our customers. The same way that a tailor manufactures a suit to his model, we design and build projects tailored to our clients. Our projects are singular and unique because no two people are alike.  Image Courtesy © Simón García We do not designed for people; we designed with people in a process of collaboration and co-creation. Involve them in the creative process, we interview them and guide them during all the project. We do not develop projects but create experiences. Everything to know better what they want and need, to develop a unique and exclusive architecture. Our tailored architecture is as sustainable and efficient, saving resources and money; you only invest in what you want and need. A responsible and honest architecture that focuses on achieving dreams and solve needs.
