El Tarter is a mountain town with low-rise housing and low density. The challenge was to make a 60-unit building fit in a small plot of land and adapt to the landscape. Our design always starts with respect for the territory, the adaptation of different ways of living in that place, and the selection of native natural materials.

Casa Aiguablava began as a small renovation project that evolved into a major intervention. The client wanted to open up the house to the sea, to take advantage of the flat terrain, and to reduce the number of rooms.
