The ceiling of concrete joists was in a poor state of repair and the roof and brick openwork supports were neither waterproof nor ensured the desired climatic performance, prompting the following intervention: The entire roof was replaced with a single element, a Pratt truss, that forms the structure and restores the entire section, gaining 19 m2 of loft space.

CASELLES / MIAS Architects

This house occupies a plot in a housing development called Caselles d’Avall, located in the municipality of Porqueres, on the way from Banyoles to Besalú. It is a small-sized plot, in a very steeply sloped terrain. It is oriented to North-East, where the best views are, from Martís Plain in the foreground, to Torroella’s castle with the sea in the background (in clear days). In winter, Banyoles’ Pond can be seen. The house enclosure is made of perforated metallic dark yellow sheets to protect it from the street views.
