The triangular shape of the plot with sea views and the curved arrangement conditions this residential project. From the street, solid volumes are the protagonists that are lightened with the use of markedly vertical openings, open like fissures. Inwards, the house opens generously to enjoy the Mediterranean and the common spaces. In them, the light is filtered with adjustable wooden slats and it is this light that becomes the key feature.

The horizon is everything in this plot. It is a place dominated by horizontal lines with an extraordinary view over the Mediterranean. Therefore, the project developed for this location seeks the magic of weightlessness. To achieve this, the design contemplates two volumes superimposed and displaced from each other that leave the ground floor open and turn the upper area into a floating construction that looks into infinity and closes on the north facade. The use of glass, cantilevers and colors complete this poetic play of light and shadow, closed and open, matter and emptiness.

Located in a residential area of Valldoreix, this house stands in a sober response to a discreet natural and urban landscape. The project is integrated through an architecture that seeks a balance between formal abstraction and Mediterranean sensibility, in a clear heritage of the work of Josep Lluís Sert, particularly in his way of revisiting rationalism with values of climate, light and everyday life.
The house is developed mainly on a single floor, confirming its horizontal and domestic character. All the functional spaces are located on the ground floor: day area (living room, dining room, kitchen), private area (bedrooms, bathrooms) and service areas. On the first floor, for a more introspective and reduced use, there is an independent studio, conceived as a space for seclusion with open views and zenithal light, separated from the rest of the programme to favour concentration.
Mediterranean light is one of the main materials. Through controlled openings, overhangs and patios, spaces are generated where shade becomes an architectural element. The result is an atmosphere of calm, where the contrasts between full and empty, light and mass, build a balanced sensory experience.
Orientation, volumetric compactness, solar filters and the use of native vegetation are passive strategies that reduces energy demand. The house is conceived from climatic common sense rather than from visible technology.

The intervention is grounded in a deep respect for the original architecture of Josep Lluís Sert, understood not only as a built form but as a way of living. The renovation of the Blajot House (1978–1979) has been approached through a careful reading of its spatial logic, its relationship with the site, and its essential materiality.
The project restores the original values of the house—structural clarity, constructive restraint, and the dialogue between interior and exterior—while adapting them to contemporary requirements of comfort, efficiency, and use, without altering its identity or architectural language.
Designed for a new family, the extension does not compete with the original building but rather accompanies it. It is integrated through material continuity, proportion, and scale, reinterpreting Sert’s principles with a restrained and coherent language. More than an addition, the intervention seeks a balance between past and present, where the new is clearly recognisable without disrupting the unity of the whole.
The project understands rehabilitation as an exercise in precision and responsibility: updating without distorting, intervening without imposing, and extending the life of a work while keeping its underlying philosophy intact.
