Halfway in between Barcelona and Sant Cugat, La Floresta is a low density neighborhood placed in Collserola mountains. A disorganized constellation of houses sprinkles the hills, which are covered with plenty of vegetation; the area contains a mix of dirt roads and asphalt roads, recently-built houses and constructions from the 1950s.
스페인의 라 플로레스타 지방은 바르셀로나와 산트 구가트의 중간 지대인 꼴세롤라 산에 자리한다. 이 작은 마을은 포장도로와 비포장도로가 혼재하고, 1950년대 건물과 현대 건물이 언덕 위에 별자리처럼 흩어져 있다.

The intervention directly replaces a small construction, a self-built 1960s home constructed by the client’s parents, which has been demolished due to its severe pathologies. The plot has a steep slope and the project uses the small terrace where the old house used to be as its base. The project is developed over two levels and is envisioned as a family reunion space, with an open ground floor and three bedrooms on the first floor.
The openings on the façade aim to strengthen the relationship of the house with the plot and the forest. The first floor rotates in relation to the ground floor, defining a series of skylights and small terraces that leave space for the nearby tree crowns to get closer to the façade.

부지에 있던 주택은 1960년대에 건축주의 부모님이 직접 지은 것으로, 폐가 마냥 손상되어 있었다.
새집은 이를 대신해 가족이 재결합하는 공간이다. 나무 상자에 금속판을 두른 듯한 건물은 탁 트인 1층과 세 개의 침실이 있는 2층으로 구성된다. 2층 매스를 비틀어 천창과 작은 테라스를 만들었다. 테라스는 주변 나뭇가지가 방해받지 않고 자라도록 공간을 내어주고, 외관의 큰 창은 주변 숲과 가까운 관계를 맺는다.

The interior of the house is characterized by its great simplicity, and it is the structure itself that defines the main interior finishes, with raw wood for the walls and brightly polished wood on the floor, allowing the exterior to be part of the interior through the reflections.
The house is a wooden box covered with a steel sheet placed on a simple concrete base.
The structure of the project is composed by laminated timber panels. These panels are used as a loadbearing wall when placed in vertical position and, as the slab when placed in horizontal position with a shallower section and the help of laminated fir beams.

외벽은 물결 모양의 ‘오메가 스틸’로 둘렀고, 철판의 단열 문제를 고려해 10cm 두께의 ‘타이벡’ 섬유 단열재를 썼다.
간결한 내부는 온전히 나무만으로 마감했다. 목재 판넬은 수직으로 세워졌을 땐 하중을 받는 벽이 되고, 수평으로 놓일 땐 슬래브가 된다. 가느다란 전나무 보가 바닥 판을 지탱한다. 벽에는 미가공 목재를, 바닥에는 밝게 광택 낸 목재를 사용하는 등, 같은 재료라도 조금씩 달리했다.

Regarding the cladding, the loadbearing walls’ outer face is covered with 10cm insulation. Vertical wooden strips are placed in between the insulation slabs and the ensemble is covered with a tyvek sheet. The strips perform as the support for the omega steel sections that hold the galvanized waved steel plate that finishes the facade.
