Creating sculptural architecture that includes the warmth of a home is a challenge. And this project, with its large dimensions, its ambition and its location dominating all of Barcelona, ran the risk of becoming a showhome worthy of a photo shoot, but not to live in. To give it visual rhythm, everything superfluous was eliminated and the house was divided into three volumes. And to provide the necessary balance, all the unique elements, including the staircase, were accumulated in a central module, wrapped in copper. In this way, more subtlety is achieved in the rest of the building, using austere masonry walls on the outside and warm materials on the inside.

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.

Blur the boundaries; play with closed and open spaces. This was the proposal to build a plot with an exceptional location and impressive views. The resulting project is a dialogue between the building and the landscape. On this basis, the house takes inside floors and walls typical of the exteriors of the area; That is why it is open and draws angles so that the view of the sea penetrates the house. The Mediterranean is integrated into the daily life of the family that inhabits this home.
