Arquitectura and Commuty studios, it uses three materials from its 1983 construction as a base: wood, tiles and facebricks. 108 new square metres which extend the house towards the garden while including a new staircase design that connects the rooms, allowing it to contain a new floor all under the same roof.
The design, both modern and minimalist, challenges the constructive demands of today, banking on thermal comfort and lower energy consumption. Over-insulating and energy façade systems, with large windows which work as heat collectors in winter, allow for cross ventilation during the summer, are designed with woodwork. This sustainable material which is used for the interior flooring of the space (in natural wood from L’Antic Colonial), as well as for the outdoor shutters, which cover the whole facade while controlling the sunlight which comes into the house.
As well as that, the project features an underfloor heating and cooling system, with hot water coming from the thermal solar panels, all thanks to the installation of aerothermal technology.
The clear open and height redistribution inside the house turns the staircase into the central pillar and the main theme of the space, connecting a triple-height living room with the rest of the rooms, which provides views in all directions.
