"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."
The new house is built on the ruins of Mas Geli, where only two facades with buttresses and a few stone-vaulted spaces remained. The design reinterprets vernacular architectural values while maintaining a contemporary expression. Existing stone elements are preserved and inform the intervention's material and formal language. The intervention seeks coherence with the surrounding context through careful siting, scale, and relationships to agricultural fields. Integration into the exceptional Baix Empordà landscape emphasizes continuity with a continuum of rural spaces and the distant presence of ancestral farmhouses. The proposal balances respect for tradition with clear contemporary identity.
