The interaction with the local architectural features, with many disproportionate elements tinged with time, give us new experiences every time we pass by.

Adrià Goula The villa is located on a plot in the town of Alella, with views both of the Mediterranean, and the city of Barcelona. The design departed from the idea of making the most of the views to all sides. We developed a volumetric concept that is an intricate play with three different materials and various different heights. Because th... More
