In Sant Pere de Ribes, the house is conceived through the articulation of three volumes of different heights and proportions, whose arrangement organizes the programme and establishes a dynamic relationship with the garden. This volumetric fragmentation allows for multiple readings of the composition as a whole and reinforces the dialogue between architecture and landscape. The exterior material palette combines white surfaces with natural stone, creating a play of light and shadow that brings depth and rhythm to the composition.
The interior layout is fluid, naturally connecting the different functions of the house. The central volume acts as the organizing core and accommodates the shared living areas, while the lateral volumes contain more specific spaces. One of these houses the recording studio, conceived as a distinctive element within the home. This space takes the form of a six-metre-high cube, strategically opening towards the sky and the garden to allow natural light to enter without compromising acoustic performance.
The studio has been designed according to the Non-Environment philosophy, achieving a very low and consistent reverberation time across all frequencies. Oak timber slats provide visual warmth while lending a natural brightness to the sound, while large glazed openings and the window overlooking the control room create a bright and comfortable environment. At the opposite end of the house, the daytime living area is conceived as a warm and welcoming space, with a colour palette that reinforces its domestic character.
The project incorporates passive design strategies and highly efficient active systems, enabling the house to achieve virtually zero energy consumption.
