The project consists of the comprehensive renovation of a house situated between party walls in the center of Tàrrega. The plot, elongated due to a former agricultural subdivision, presents the challenge of ensuring deep natural light and ventilation. The architectural strategy responds by creating double-height spaces and vertical sightlines that promote cross-ventilation and allow natural light to penetrate all floors.

This undertaking is part of a larger restoration initiated in 2002, addressing critical damage from a Civil War fire and decades of abandonment.

Raw House is a mixed-use development located on the East side of Seoul, South Korea, designed to harmonize with its natural and urban surroundings. The project includes a café, residential flats, and a penthouse that also serves as an office space. Its southern façade frames expansive views of the surrounding lush foliage, inviting nature into the interiors, while the northern façade takes a more reserved approach, creating a buffer from the street. This contrast highlights the project’s tectonic design, with the bold materiality and clean lines establishing a strong architectural presence that balances openness and privacy.
