Casa Lluna, located in Vilanova i la Geltru's old town was imagined as a streetscape inside a domestic space. A series of doors and windows overlook the central area of the house. The demolition of part of the slab on the first floor multiplies natural light transforming this former carpenter's workshop into a peculiar streetscape. The introduction of natural light enhances also the spatial relation between the studio, the dining, and the living areas of the house. Ultimately, this new illuminated area appears as the core of the house around which the rest of the rooms are organized.


To highlight the idea of a streetscape inside a house, the project focuses on the openings: balconies, doors and windows are framed with different wood moldings, creating a new interior facade. 


Pine-wood moldings, stone walls, brick walls and painted surfaces configure a collage of both high-end and rough materials. The idea was to allow a clear contrast between the new and the old, creating a site specific timeless intervention.

Como si se tratara de una calle dentro de la casa, las ventanas y balcones se vuelcan al espacio principal de este hogar del casco antiguo de Vilanova i la Geltrú.


Una extensión de la calle realizada a partir  del vaciado de un forjado de la planta entresuelo que ha multiplicado la luz natural en este antiguo taller de carpintería. Así, este lucernario relaciona estancias y da valor a los espacios de estar, comedor  y estudio; para convertir-se en el centro de la casa alrededor del cual se organizan el resto de piezas. 


Para evidenciar la existencia de la calle dentro de la casa, el protagonismo del proyecto recae en las aberturas. Balcones, puertas y ventanas se enmarcan con molduras de madera variadas, transformando los muros que las contienen en nuevas fachadas para nuestra calle.  


Molduras de madera de pino diferentes para cada ventana;... se mezclan con muros de piedra, de obra vista, de obra pintada, para llegar a un collage de materiales nobles y bastos.


El objetivo: obtener un contraste evidente entre las preexistencias y la nueva intervención, para obtener una propuesta más atemporal y respetuosa con el sitio.
