This house in the Spanish coastal town of Salou is the result of a collaborative effort with our clients. Alba's vision of a sloping roof with exposed wooden beams and Oriol's desire for a house that connects with the garden without sacrificing privacy led us to explore openness, proportion, and shape.

Amidst a mountainous severity, a small stream river cuts its presence. Time and climate – the ultimate artisans. From this panorama, large blocks of sawn local granite appear, sheltering a small house. Just like the river, this house represents a (brief) moment of “reconciliation” with Nature.
