World of Textural Charm: Aging Single-Family Home Extension in Spain

ByMyProperty Life

A town just north of Barcelona and renowned for its old world charm and timeless buildings spread all across the beautiful town, Sant Cugat del Vallès is where you would find the gorgeous Casa EP15340 designed by Ambit. The classic home was reinvented and renovated completely to suit the more modern lifestyle of its homeowners. On the outside, the street façade still feels largely timeless with its textured walls being disturbed by only the black modern door and windows. Step inside and this blend of the old and new is continued as brick walls, wooden ceiling and other classic elements are seamlessly intertwined with polished modern finishes in white and gray.

Gray couch and cabinets in the kitchen help shape a neutral backdrop that also merges with brick walls












The single family home opens up completely towards the rear, private yard that contains a small wooden deck and a pool. With the living area, dining space and kitchen being connected with the landscape outside, the rejuvenated Spanish residence feels cheerful and bright. Natural light penetrates into the deepest parts of the house with rooms like the entry and the bathroom featuring skylights that add to the sense of openness. In every room of the house, exposed brick walls make a big difference and they have been preserved and enhanced carefully by the architects.

  • SO House

    REVEALING THE EVIDENCE Confrontation with the reality of these ruins was always a confrontation seeped in memories. Memories
    of a place where the raw matter it is constituted of – the rock, the valley and the mountain – shows evident expression, provoking a game of fine balance between place, matter, light and shadow. We found light that dripped down the stone walls defining spaces separated only by rows of stacked rock. In each fissure, in each wrinkle, a soft balance between light and shadow. Standing before this scenery, the exercise consisted in finding the most natural way to connect ruins and spaces, simultaneously defining future possibilities for links between the interior and the exterior. Where decisions were concerned, we chose to rehabilitate pre-existing volumes and introduce a new connecting element. The answer is given by the almost immediate decision to join together the pre-existing elements. This
    gesture, deeply connected to the terrain along the pendente – connects the two sections facing west,
    forming an exterior courtyard adorned with a centenary olive tree. This project builds a space that runs through the ruins, uniting them and revealing the obvious functional relationship between the house’s programmatic areas, simultaneously differentiating the possibilities for inhabiting the exterior space. It expresses its temporality through the antagonism of matter in its relationship with pre-existing elements.
