C11 HOUSE is the rehabilitation of a family house located in a small village called Bugarra, Spain. The project arises with this fundamental idea: to recover life around the patio and give back a clear environment and its former landscape.

This traditional patio house had been modified through the years and each generation had been adding fragments to this former house. As a result the Mediterranean patio house couldn’t be recognized anymore. The previous succession of enclosed rooms becomes a fluid and changing space, thus allowing cross ventilation and bringing light to the core of the house. The rest of the space is organized by light. All of the house’s rooms are moved to the first and second floor so that the ground floor can be entirely occupied by the family business. The connection with the exterior is emphasized by a series of openings on the walls that frame the views towards the surrounding landscape.
