Rooted in a dialogue between light and texture, the home balances privacy and openness while integrating seamlessly with its natural surroundings. At the heart of the project are two courtyards that flood the interiors with natural light and create a continuous flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. The lower level, anchored in dark wood tones, is dedicated to communal living, where the kitchen, dining area, study, and living room flow effortlessly into each other and the courtyards. Upstairs, the private spaces are carefully arranged around a central hallway, which transitions into the walk-in closet of the master suite, connecting the vanity, terrace, bathroom, and bedroom.

Three vibrant and harmonious volumes that flow into each other; a game of composition generates different perspectives in the garden; materials that set the colour palette of stone and white; and a layout staggered over different levels to fluently and efficiently communicate the diverse uses. That is how we created this project for a musician who wanted an inspiring home complete with recording studio. Pure rhythm.
The recording studio is situated in one of the blocks, an impressive six-metre high cube that only opens onto the garden. On the opposite side is the more intimate area, and, connecting the two, we have the central block which comprises the thoroughfare and common area.
On an acoustic level, the studio has been designed under the Non-Environment philosophy in which an average reverberation time of 0.13 seconds has been obtained, balanced over the entire frequency range, with which a neutral listening is achieved thanks to the combination of the speakers with the room.
The recording room was built with the aim of having controlled acoustics but with a natural brightness achieved thanks to the first reflections generated by the slot slats made of oak wood.
The large windows and the viewfinder overlooking the control room make all the rooms very bright, creating a pleasant atmosphere for working inside.

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.

The project is located in the historic centre of Sabadell, on a party-wall plot with a double-depth layout, a condition that shapes both the spatial organisation and the relationships between the different areas of the house. Based on a detailed study of the programme and the family’s everyday dynamics, the proposal aims to create generous, flexible and interconnected spaces, capable of adapting to different ways of living throughout the day and across the seasons.
The house is organised vertically, with a clear distinction between day and night areas, while introducing strategies of spatial continuity that encourage visual and functional relationships between levels. The daytime living area unfolds across two storeys, creating an intermediate multipurpose space between the garage and the rear garden. This area acts as a natural extension of the interior during the summer months, allowing the enjoyment of outdoor space without compromising comfort or privacy, and functioning as a key transitional element between the domestic realm and the open air.
One of the most representative features of the project is the double-height space above the living area, which enhances the sense of spaciousness and allows natural light to penetrate deep into the interior, while establishing direct visual connections between the different floors. This strategy reinforces the unified perception of the house and encourages interaction among family members, turning the central void into the true heart of the project.
From a material perspective, a restrained and coherent palette has been chosen to reinforce the contemporary yet timeless character of the proposal. Microcement is used as a unifying element throughout the house, providing continuity, neutrality and a homogeneous spatial reading. On the first two floors, microcement is combined with dark-stained oak, creating a more contained atmosphere associated with areas of greater activity. On the upper floors, primarily dedicated to rest, natural oak introduces a greater sense of warmth and lightness, accompanying the transition towards more intimate spaces.
The architectural language is based on formal clarity, clean lines and the integration of discreet construction solutions, where lighting, built-in furniture and storage systems are conceived as an integral part of the architectural project itself. The result is a modern, minimalist and durable home that engages with the historic urban context through restraint and precision, while simultaneously offering a functional, bright domestic space adapted to the real needs of the family who inhabits it.
