Alfacs / Bajet Giramé

Andreas Luco — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 03:00:00 +0000

Every year, sometime in the autumn, a four to six-month window opens for small improvement works to be made in anticipation of the desired spring opening date of ALFACS, a vacation spot in Alcanar, Tarragona, on the Mediterranean Sea's edge and near the Delta de l’Ebre Natural Park. Since 2016, the Barcelona-based studios Bajet Giramé and JAAS have been leading this respectful and meticulous gradual architectural metamorphosis: a progressive transformation that adds new elements and quality spaces every year for the enjoyment of its visitors. Maria Giramé, Pau Bajet and Manuel Julià, architects and heads of their respective studios, explain the philosophy behind this renovation under the motto "there is no single project, but a process that is constantly evolving". They emphasize a continuous process of evolution rather than a single, completed project. An approach that underscores flexibility, adaptability, and a long-term vision: There is no "one" project to be completed, but rather a repertoire of strategies and infrastructural actions that have led to a process that is meant to be endless, in constant transformation.

Blurring 2 Attics Renovation / Bajet Giramé

Valeria Silva — Sun, 24 Dec 2023 19:00:00 +0000

This project of 2 interconnected premises between two friends in an attic in Poblenou, Barcelona, is linked to the practice of the loft as a paradigm of the free appropriation of space, in a tectonic, political, and temporal sense. Traditional boundaries, such as ownership or spheres of leisure, work, and life, are superimposed and blurred. Places of intimacy for each individual coexist, as well as spaces for sharing. Relationships are produced through thresholds that also regulate climatic interactions between an interior and an exterior that are also diluted.

3 Marías House / Bajet Giramé + Burckhardt

Three sisters in the Mediterranean. The project enhances—aiming to exaggerate—the ‘courtyard-house’ character of a summer residence from the sixties on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. A house that three sisters in their thirties have decided to share as a summer home. This renovated holiday house is a deliberately ambiguous habitat, between inside and outside, openly diverse, as wide and sunny as intimate and shady; offering coves, topographies, loggias, and gardens, in a spatial continuum that intends to provide a landscape of vitality and delight.

Home in Mitre / Bajet Giramé

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 28 Nov 2016 05:00:00 +0000

The project consists of remaking a home in a 1970’s apartment in Barcelona. The former spaces were based on program requirements resulting in a series of small rooms and corridors with predefined functions. Those spaces were shaped by non-load bearing walls given its ‘properly modern‘ free plan. However, columns, beams and slabs were concealed within the internal partitions as shameful bones.
