DMT House | Enrica Mosciaro
Barcelona / Spain / 2014
0
This house is located on a hill a few kilometers from Barcelona with views of the sea.
The U-shaped floor plan follows the layout of the elongated lot, breaking into multiple volumes. Each volume has a gabled roof that, at their intersection, generates a skylight that illuminates the spaces below.
The ground floor is characterized by vertical panels of marble of different types and colors, alternating with full-height openings. The marble emerges from the garden vegetation and the water from the pool. The interior flooring is made of oak wood, a material that is also used on several occasions in vertical surfaces and in the ceilings of the sloping roofs.
The architects embraced the challenge of designing an explicitly luxurious house without overdoing it, using combinations of unusual materials while maintaining balance and sobriety.
Luxury, in this context, is not a form of showcasing but rather the quality of the living space: the interplay of light at different times of the day, the views, the quality of natural materials, and attention to detail.

Esta vivienda está situada en una colina a pocos km de Barcelona con vistas al mar.
La planta en forma de U sigue el recorrido del lote alargado, fragmentándose en varios volúmenes. Cada cuerpo tiene una cubierta a dos aguas inclinadas que, en su intersección, generan un corte de luz que ilumina desde arriba los espacios inferiores.
La planta baja se caracteriza por la composición de paños verticales de mármol de diferentes tipo y color, alternados con aberturas a toda altura. El mármol surge de la vegetación del jardín y del agua de la piscina. El pavimento interior es de madera de roble, material que en varias ocasiones también se utiliza en paramentos verticales y en los plafones de las cubiertas inclinadas.
Los arquitectos aceptaron el reto de diseñar una casa explícitamente lujosa sin caer en el exceso, utilizando combinaciones de materiales inusuales, manteniendo el equilibrio y la sobriedad.
El lujo no es necesariamente una forma de exhibición sino la calidad del espacio en el que vivimos: la interpretación de la luz en los diferentes momentos del día, las vistas, la calidad de los materiales naturales y los detalles.
