In the heart of Granollers, a family breathed life into an old house they inherited. Their ambition? To convert it into a comfortable home on a stringent budget of less than €150,000. Their vision seemed almost unattainable. Yet, the allure of living centrally, in proximity to their work and children's school, fueled their resolve.

The name “Casa Libre” is the choice of the owners who worked with our team and who shared their dreams and desires for their permanent home. And why this name for the house? The “house” as a home, around a cosy patio and “Libre” for its transparency, lightness and space of freedom, both architecturally and in actual living.

Located in a quiet but urban area in Mexico city’s west limits, Casa Madre is a single-family residence that carves the sloping terrain with staggered concrete volumes. The project emerges from the site and is surrounded by local trees and neighbor’s constructions, creating a light contrast between the greenery and the gray palette from the façade.
