Costa House in Barcelona

Arquitectura-G 


Shortlisted for the 2022 FAD Award in the Architecture section, the house was designed as an L-shaped porch opening onto a courtyard cum garden. With a total area of 202 square meters, the three-level building is surrounded by party walls, and its white facade is “one more wall” when the windows are closed. The intervention carried out by the Catalan firm Arquitectura G – Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes, Igor Urdampilleta – generates central, flexible, unobstructed, corridor-less spaces, harnessing cross ventilation. A spiral staircase of exposed concrete connects the floors.
