"A mansion situated on higher ground in the Maresme, the lovely coastal area to the north of Barcelona. Rehabilitation of a building of relative interest but situated in a prime position on a plot with vestiges from the 14th century and successive remodelling work that culminated in a restructuring in the early 20th century. Remodelling the mansion and its adjoining areas: garage, terraces, swimming pools and guest rooms.
A lovely, spacious site sloping towards the sea, a wood of Mediterranean species in which to create a fascinating garden. A bold client with a generous budget who gave us free rein. A group of friends, professionals in the fields of architecture and various crafts, brought together to create a truly singular project."
