On a large plot located at the foot of the Montcabrer development in Cabrils, this detached single-family home has been designed to adapt precisely and organically to the existing topography and vegetation, integrating naturally into its forested surroundings. It is a Mediterranean-style house where white predominates, combining dry stone, exposed concrete, and the wood of sliding shutters.
The house will consist of various independent volumes that unfold from a central communication core. The upper floor will be situated at the access level, from which the main entrance hall and the night area can be reached, while the ground floor will accommodate the daytime areas, open to the garden and directly connected to the pool area.
The ground floor layout forms an L-shape: one wing houses the living room, and the other, partially embedded into the terrain, is dedicated to the kitchen, dining room, and service areas, with a green roof and openings facing the garden, creating a seamless continuity between interior and exterior spaces.
On the opposite side, a third two-story volume will house the garage and a spa area with a sauna, connected to the rest of the house by a glass corridor that allows views of the garden throughout the interior route. The slight rotation of the volumes adjusts to the land’s topography, breaking the rigidity of the structure and creating a series of shifting perspectives that connect the home organically to its natural surroundings.
Outside, a pool embedded into the terrain will be built, surrounded by a paved terrace and connected to an auxiliary structure that will serve as a changing room and summer porch. A paddle tennis court and a lightweight pergola will also be constructed in front of the main entrance, organizing the arrival sequence and providing shade with a green roof.
The project embraces a respectful approach to the site, with minimal earthworks and predominantly Mediterranean vegetation. The green roofs of the three volumes and their integration with the existing vegetation will help minimize the building’s visual and environmental impact, resulting in a welcoming, functional home that is fully integrated into its natural setting.
