The project reflects a new domestic paradigm born after the pandemic — where work, study, cooking, and rest often unfold within the same walls. The family sought spaces that could coexist in proximity yet retain individuality; places where life could flow together and apart. Cometa Architects turned the door into the silent protagonist of this choreography — a system of double doors that opens and closes throughout the day, creating a dialogue between togetherness and solitude.

When closed, the rooms preserve intimacy; when open, they dissolve into one another, appearing not as separate enclosures but as adjacent breaths of the same space. This fluid geometry allows the family to live, work, and gather without interruption — the architecture adapting to their shifting rhythms.

The former labyrinth of corridors and small rooms was cleared and restructured through large structural openings reinforced with steel. Natural light now reaches the deepest corners, while moments of deliberate shadow introduce calm and contrast.

A long loggia-like corridor lined with custom full-height doors leads to a “secret-restaurant” kitchen centered on a sculptural stone island, surrounded by dark lacquered cabinetry and brass-framed glass doors — a subtle homage to Catalan Art Nouveau.

The living and dining hall, the home’s social heart, restores the original Noia mosaic floors and conceals lighting, audio, and climate systems behind a serene material palette.

At one end, a children’s suite of steel and warm wood panels invites play and independence. At the other, the master suite unfolds through a gradient of darkness and light — from a sleek wardrobe and softly lit bathroom to a sun-filled bedroom and winter gallery.

Every threshold, reflection, and shaft of light embodies Cometa Architects’ design-and-build philosophy — an architecture that listens, adapts, and quietly celebrates the intimacy of shared life.
