A village house in the Alt Empordà. The stone arch in the living room, the Catalan vault over the dining room and the roof beams were already there: we left them in view and painted everything around them white.
Terracotta runs through the whole house. Upstairs, under the whitewashed beams, a white steel library wraps around the window and a light staircase rises to meet it.
«What the house already had of value stays. Everything new is there to serve it.»
