Two houses in Montjuïc

The proposal reforms and expands an old popular house in the Santalia neighborhood, on the slopes of Montjuïc. The ground floor and its mezzanine are rehabilitated as a loft, that opens up to two patios. A second home is built on top of the existing volume, with a light wooden structure. A broken geometry is proposed, opening the second house to the rear garden, taking advantage of the south orientation and the views to the park. This geometry offers cross-views between the different rooms, while allowing natural light to enter the house on the ground floor. The zig-zag of urban planning is used to fit an access nucleus to the second home.
