I wanted to infuse a part of modernity to the so bermajesty of the place by adding and opposing materials,colors and shapes in order to reveal its quiet beauty.

All is matter of respect and balance.It is very important forme to reach an harmony between a building and it senvironment. I’ve tried to adacontemporary breath to a place full of history, stimulated by the challenge to reinvent it. It is this special soul coming from Can Faustino that we haved esired to enhancein order to find what is insideus.
