The house is defined by its geometry that strictly delimits the constructed object with respect to its surroundings, a pleasant topography embracing two gigantic oaks that focus all the views from the house. A rectangle defines the perimeter and includes the roofed parts, the porches and the patios that organize the demanded program. The living room becomes the heart of the house and is surrounded by patios, porches and canopies depending on the orientation, making its relation with the outside always be through transition spaces that can become roofed eventually deppending on the future needs of the femily

New project available online: FEM's proposal for the restoration of the RASE industrial building into a new Cultural Center in Cardedeu [...]
La propuesta se basa mucho más en los escombros, en los vaciados, que en los espacios que llenamos. El proyecto se estructura en la apertura de dos patios cubiertos que aportarán luz a todas las piezas que hasta ahora quedaban interiores, y que servirán como instrumentos de control pasivo de la temperatura de las piezas más grandes, las que cuestan más de climatizar (tanto a nivel económico como a nivel técnico, al ser catalogadas). Los patios son las únicas piezas fundamentales, el resto del programa propuesto es puramente orientativo basado en los usos que se explicitan en las bases, y entendemos que puede ser este como cualquier otro.

L’oportunitat de dissenyar un fanal des de zero permet aprofundir en l’estudi de certes inquietuds que ens han acompanyat al llarg de molts projectes, de com la llum afecta la percepció que tenim de l’espai o de com pot arribar a construir-lo.

We propose rethinking the closed kitchen. We have joined the space of the old kitchen with the room beside it to create a new room that, in addition to preparing food, can gather the family around a big table. We have removed the door between the kitchen and the living room, blurring the boundaries between the two uses, separated only by a change of material in the pavement.
