Unique Properties
The garden and its elements establish the relation between the interior and the environment. A corbel is used to regulate the sunlight and skylight, and also allows natural ventilation. It is a project designed with energetic passive solutions, natural resources, and zero kilometers materials. Handmade bricks from a local factory are used to modulate the space. The house focuses on local materials and traditional production methods while maintaining a very high level of aesthetics.

Production Technology
The handcrafted brick pieces were designed in the studio. Its particularities are the composition, texture and color. For the manufacture of the brick, it uses a mixture of sand and clays from the Baix Camp and arid regions of the Baix Ebre. Together, they give the brick a balance of elasticity and hardness. Four molds of different dimensions were designed according to their functions. Two of them are on the back, one to fill and the main piece configures the rig, allowed the desired finish. The colors of the brick depend on the exposure to the flame, so it gets a more or less a reddish color. Result achieved through the artisan process.
Design Challenge
The unit of the brick and its dimensions determine the size of the spaces. It also determines the module of the steel frames that are supported by the tops of the brick walls. This metal grid modulates in an elastic way according to the user's needs and desired limits. It is a flexible systematization that gives an implicit order throughout the project. Through the fits we integrate the solid oak beams into the steel profiles that form the grid.
Research
The House SV shows sensitivity and respect for the place where it is built; production methods are used to link its constructive tradition with contemporaneity, there is a special attention to the details and the materials. A house to live in contact with the garden and the surrounding nature with incomparable views of Barcelona.
Inspiration
The aim of the SV Villa is to live in a contemporary house, in the middle of the city, with the privileges of the countryside. Traditional constructive elements were used such as the tile roof, stone, ceramics, brick, solid wood beams, among others. Likewise, passive energy solutions, natural resources and proximity materials were used.
Project Duration
The project started in the middle of 2018 in Barcelona finished at the beginning of 2019.
Operation Flow
The House SV consists on three levels. On the ground floor, in the larger bays, there are the common areas, living room, kitchen and dining room. Other services in a third module, with a smaller size, adjusting to the limits of the plot. In the basement we find the services with independent access. As well as the guest bedroom, the multipurpose room and bathrooms with access to the garden and the garage. On the upper floor are the children's bedrooms sharing in couples the bathrooms, a library in the larger modules and a suite at the opposite end.
