Located in the Carrosa Volcano Natural Park in Catalonia, Spain, the building was converted from an abandoned farm, Can Calau. The architect directly used the existing materials from the farm ruins to build the main body of the building, giving these mottled stones a new lease of life. The extension consists of two volumes: the semi-sunken garage slightly exposed to the ground, which evolves into a long stone bench outside; The living room and master bedroom stretch south along the hill, and the oak cladding makes this simple concrete structure look like a barn of a farmhouse, integrated into the forest.
▽ Revitalized farm and nearby ruins
▽ Rebuilt farm buildings, new masses and ponds
▽ Handover of old and new building volumes
▽ The new volume of wooden skin has a simple shape
▽ Night light reflects on the exterior terrace through the wooden skin
Inside, stone walls, wooden roofs, and concrete walls and floors create an ambiguous atmosphere that blurs the line between old and new. In the high kitchen space, the scattered windows bring changing light and shadow and strong chiaroscuro, and the modern equipment seems to bring a touch of the pyrotechnics of the past.
Stone buildings, new farmhouse-like masses and small pools on terraces give this former ruin a silent new lease of life under the cover of the jungle.
