House & Studio in Canet de Mar: Controlling Climate Conditions

Abstract

Situated in the old heart of a small coastal village, on a plot previously occupied by a car park, the building houses a double use, as a home and as a studio. The project is based on the goal of achieving climate control by means of passive systems and seeks to integrate with the surrounding urban fabric. This is all reflected in the choice and use of the materials, in the attention to the pre-existing conditions – such as the conserved masonry party wall – and the anonymity of the façade.
