The Rambed House In Barcelona

The site is located nearby a natural park 20 miles NW of Barcelona. 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. The materials chosen limestone, wood 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.

the complexity of the project was to solve and define-with architectural elements-which were the public facades and which were the private ones. They 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. Quim Larrea and Katherine Bedwell had made it.
