Located in the idyllic setting of Cala Tamarit, just outside Tarragona, the project was conceived to create a physical experience beyond mere shelter.
The interior is fluid and varied, requiring exploration to be fully understood. The house resists clear spatial hierarchies; the rooms are formed like the spaces on either side of misaligned blocks.
A careful reading of the house reveals a play of opposites: solidity and lightness, closed and open, dark and light, rough and smooth.
The selection of furniture follows the same logic, blending classics by Carlo Scarpa, Mackintosh, Le Corbusier, Mies Van Der Rohe, and Miguel Milá with other pieces closer to the art of contemporary creators, such as the nanimarquina rugs that slip into the common spaces with the same harmony in which all the elements in the house move.
