The stone walls guide the path of light and gaze in this house. Their presence speaks volumes and gives the project a sense of organisation. And, despite their solidity, as they are located on a transversal axis, these walls give up all the prominence to the intangible: they allow the sun to enter the interior from the south and draw in your towards the north, which offers some fabulous views over the Collserola valley. Sun, pines and oaks. The Mediterranean environment becomes part of the house.
The relationship between the house and its surroundings is underlined by the materials and colours used. The stone, the earthy tones and the off-white make the construction blend in with the surroundings and take root with the mountain that houses it.

The house is conceived as a singular architectural piece that engages in dialogue with its immediate surroundings in the exclusive neighbourhood of Pedralbes. From the earliest stages of the project, the urban context and the plot typology have been decisive factors, acting as conditions that, rather than limiting the design, have driven a precise and ambitious architectural solution.
With the aim of achieving the maximum permitted urban development, the project proposes a stepped volumetric composition that adapts to the topography and enhances views, privacy and the relationship with the landscape. The resulting architecture is bold and expressive, yet at the same time restrained and timeless, based on a careful composition of horizontal planes, generous cantilevers and a contemporary material palette that conveys balance and permanence.
The constant pursuit of spatial generosity is expressed through double-height spaces, large glazed surfaces and a fluid continuity between interior and exterior. The interiors open onto generous terraces and landscaped areas, where water and vegetation are integrated as fundamental elements of the project, reinforcing a sense of wellbeing and exclusivity.
In terms of performance, the house meets the highest standards of comfort, building services and energy efficiency. It incorporates advanced climate control, solar control and insulation systems, as well as state-of-the-art home automation solutions that allow intelligent and personalised management of the home. All of this ensures a residential experience of the highest level, where design, technology and construction quality converge in a home conceived to be enjoyed without compromise.

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.
914_Casa del Oasis
The interior garden of this house is a perfect oasis. Water, vegetation and light combine in it to create a feeling of calm, privacy and privilege which is extended to the rest of the house. The effect produced in the garden is echoed thanks to the presence of generously-sized flown porches that open onto this space and create continuity between the interior and the exterior, isolating it from its surroundings. It does not matter then that, in certain areas, the surroundings are aggressive from the urban point of view: behind the door you will find the tranquility of your own Eden.
