House 1627 / HARQUITECTES

Andreas Luco — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 11:00:00 +0000

On the ruins of Mas Geli, an old farmhouse, of which only two facades with buttresses and a couple of spaces with stone vaults were preserved, this new house rises, which reinterprets values of vernacular architecture without renouncing the contemporaneity of the proposal. The project aims to be coherent with the context, looking for the integration of the new farmhouse in the exceptional landscape of Baix Empordà, a continuum of agricultural spaces with the distant (but constant) presence of ancestral farmhouses perfectly situated in the landscape.

Rehabilitation of the Vapor Cortès. Prodis 1933 / HARQUITECTES

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 07:00:00 +0000

The new Prodis headquarters is located in old industrial buildings that were originally part of the Vapor Cortès. The buildings are made up of the traditional perimeter structure of ceramic brick load-bearing walls following a regular rhythm of pilasters and openings every 3 meters. The 12-meter span of the buildings is covered by wooden trusses -some quite affected by roof leaks- that follow the same rhythm as the pilasters. The roof also follows the traditional structure of wooden straps and battens topped with Arabic tiles.

Social Housing Units 2104 / HARQUITECTES

Andreas Luco — Tue, 20 May 2025 12:00:00 +0000

On the plot where the Social Housing were built, primarily intended for the elderly, there was a building that we were obliged to demolish due to its non-compliance with urban planning regulations and its poor condition—there was no possibility of preserving it. It was a small, disused three-story school constructed with structural sandstone (marès) walls and concrete and ceramic ceilings.

1736 House / HARQUITECTES

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 06:00:00 +0000

A house in the middle of the city. A house for a family of 5 or 6 members, with quite an amount of program. A "house" in an area of urban density and on a plot that, despite being quite wide and long, is inevitably surrounded by other buildings and with all the pressure of a big city. Of the existing building, only the street facade will remain, which is a protected facade.

Social Housing 1737 / HARQUITECTES

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 07 May 2023 13:00:00 +0000

The volumetric organization of this project encourages the biological and recreational continuity between the Serra de les Ferreres zone and the Llobregat Agricultural Park in Gavà, Catalonia, complementing the longitudinal circulation with new transversal links that facilitate access to the block. Opening the interior corners of the complex prevents potentially insecure dead zones, while the staggered buildings adapt to the natural slope of the plot.

Clos Pachem Winery / HARQUITECTES

Agustina Coulleri — Mon, 01 May 2023 14:00:00 +0000

A Priorat appellation vintner needed a new winery in the heart of a village, Gratallops, for his increased production. The challenge was to allow the winery itself to contribute to the biodynamic winemaking process, striving to optimize the building’s behavior based on passive principles to the greatest possible extent.

1721 House / HARQUITECTES

Agustina Coulleri — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 07:00:00 +0000

It is a single-family house project between party walls in Granollers. The client asked for a house that could admit up to four different family situations: alone at home, with his partner or in different combinations with their children.

House 905 / HARQUITECTES

Clara Ott — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 07:00:00 +0000

No context is irrelevant to a new building. And often the site itself generates conditions affecting the project in almost every decision. This is not the case with this house.

Civic Centre Lleialtat Santsenca 1214 / HARQUITECTES

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 06:00:00 +0000

Three starting points: understanding the historic value of Lleialtat Santsenca (1928),an old working-class cooperative in the Sants neighborhood; knowing to the detail the building’s (physical) state to maintain as much as possible; and being sensitive to the whole collaborative process launched in 2009 by neighborhood organizations to recover the building. To this end, four basic objectives were set out: first, taking advantage of everything that could be used from the original; second, defining an intervention strategy marking out the essential actions, conservative or not, allowing to recover and increase the potential uses of all those spaces; third, to establish an intensive dialogue – and tense, if due – with context; and fourth, to develop a sustainable proposal, regarding the work on the existing as well as the new interventions.

1413 House / HARQUITECTES

Rayen Sagredo — Thu, 05 Apr 2018 05:00:00 +0000

The stone wall that marked out the boundaries of the estate went around the whole site, revealing just the tops of the trees inside. The materiality and the irregularity of the geometry of the wall endowed it with a special character and presence, but the current regulations made it compulsory to extend the width of the street, so preserving the wall was impossible.

House 1219 / HARQUITECTES

Daniel Tapia — Wed, 17 Jan 2018 05:00:00 +0000

On a plot without salient features, the project took as starting point the restrictions marked by the geotechnical study, which showed that the first meters underground had a low resistance capacity. To avoid a deep foundation, not recommendable for both economic and environmental reasons, it was necessary to reanalyze the organization of the house and its building systems. The design called for a very light construction, or else one that would evenly distribute the loads to the ground. The light construction option was discarded because it was considered important to gain interior thermal inertia for a better passive behaviour.

Cristalleries Planell Civic Center / H Arquitectes

Cristobal Rojas — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 03:00:00 +0000

This public facility houses an adult education centre, a language standarization consortium and a hotel on a triangular plot in the Parliament district. Two of the three sides of the site area defined by the heritage-listed frontage of the former Planell glass factory, built on Calle Anglesola in 1913. The building makes use of the entire plot, acting as an intrinsic part of the urban landscape, although the triangular shape and the classified façades prevent it from occupying the entire site.

Refurbishment Of 906 School In Sabadell / H Arquitectes

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 17 Dec 2015 16:00:00 +0000

.Strategies
The school is located in the urban city center of Sabadell, in a corner shaped by two buildings aligned to the street. Both volumes create a wide courtyard with a sports center located in the basement. The proposal involves only the oldest building (1959) which hosts the pre-school classrooms and few outdoor spaces.

Research Center ICTA-ICP · UAB / H Arquitectes + DATAAE

Karen Valenzuela — Thu, 04 Jun 2015 02:00:25 +0000

The ICTA-ICP building, located in the UAB Campus (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), is a research centre in environmental sciences and palaeontology. In accordance with the research fields of the building users, they chose, from the beginning, a building prepared to give an ambitious response to the challenges of sustainability. The building, an isolated volume of five floors of 40x40m2 and two basements, contains the following program: on the ground floor the hall, bar, classrooms, meeting rooms and the administration area; the next 3 floors hold the offices and laboratories; on the roof there are vegetable patches together with the resting areas. The semi basement holds the parking and the engine rooms while the basement contains the warehouses and other laboratories.

House 1014 / HARQUITECTES

Daniel Sánchez — Wed, 21 Jan 2015 00:00:00 +0000

The plot is located in the historical city centre of Granollers and placed into an urban fabric of dwellings between party walls. The available space is narrow and elongated, only 6.5 m wide; and accessible from two streets. Owing to the dilapidated state of the existing building, only the main façade, reasonably well preserved offering a certain heritage value,could be maintained.

House 1101 / H Arquitectes

Karen Valenzuela — Sun, 16 Feb 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Not so many jobs begin like this one, with an owners' list of wishes and hopes for their new home. A list much closer to the principles and values architects usually work with, often secretly, than the ordinary expectations of those couples facing this unknown challenge. Lists always full of good intentions but often incomplete. This was the start, loaded with responsibility, yet an excellent start.
