The property of 60m2 + 30m2 patio had a very divided interior layout. The design aimed to connect interior and exterior to create a flexible, light and open space, around the patio and its existing tree.

The original existing walls were displayed and the challenge was to work with wooden dry construction, complementing and balancing the rough brick and stone of the original walls.
Translucent glass and the change of heights in the core rooms, allow indirect light in, creating a pleasant luminance.
Living spaces were placed to the patio façade to enjoy the luxury of having an open space in one of the original districts of Barcelona.
