Ca la Cris

We propose the rehabilitation of this small traditional house in El Masnou as an intervention where what matters to us is to maintain the vernacular character of the dwelling through the existing materials and textures. In this way the new distribution and new materials dialogue with the traditional architecture getting a modern and contemporary aspect of the house without breaking with the tradition of this fishing village. The patio assumes the prominence it deserves in the Mediterranean climate, becoming part of the lounge in the warmer seasons. We recover part of the existing hydraulic pavement so that it forms a carpet in the living room.
