Located in Barcelona Spain, Quim Larrea & Katherine Bedwell architects design new house with “V” shape plan surrounded by pine trees,oaks, and holm oaks. Material are used wood, limestone and steel had to integrate well with the surroundings, and the color scheme was carefully studied, selecting sober and neutral tones that would blend seamlessly with the site’s natural background setting. Inside, comfort, functionality and transparency are achieved with fluid spaces that allow a continuous relation with the exterior of the house. Read the description after the images.
Description of Rambed House
“The peculiarity of the natural setting, the views of the valley and the functionality that the client demanded made us think of those Californian homes designed by Richard Neutra back in the 50’s.
The house with a “V” shape plan had to be horizontal, tectonic, but at the same time friendly and respectful with the forest. It had to levitate on the site in order to simulate weightlessness.
Due to the characteristics of the lot, the complexity of the project was to solve and define-with architectural elements-which were the public facades and which were the private ones. We decided to make two volumes to well define the most intimate part of the woods in order to keep it, as much as possible, away from the street.
Therefore, the house is placed on the highest point of the site and it is resolved with the placement of two wings that form a V-shape plan.”
