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.

A grand, sculptured beam runs through the home and frames the scenery. This structural element is the aesthetic key to making this project possible, inspired by nature, it draws the surroundings in and captures your attention.
Inspiration for this project was born directly from the surroundings, close to the sea. From this, we see the aesthetic approach, great flights that unfold towards the horizon and high, glass spaces seeking to defy gravity. Each of the elements speaks of the privilege of infinity.
The beam that envelopes the building is the resource that makes all of this possible and furthermore, one that makes the domestic areas appear on a familiar scale despite their grand dimensions. It also becomes a frame that, as Ortega and Gasset said, draws in the gaze to pour it into the painting, which is, in itself, infinity.

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.
