About Casa MM

A Modern Homage: Nestled in Alta Garrotxa

Situated on Alta Garrotxa’s slopes in Montagut, Girona – Catalonia, this site offers a southern exposure to the Fluvià river valley. The breathtaking landscape seamlessly merges with the living space, offering panoramic vistas from within.

Dual Views: Expansive and Intimate

Two distinct perspectives emerge. First, the expansive view over the river valley. Next, a more secluded gaze focuses on a neighboring stream, ensuring intimacy and seclusion.

Balancing Community and Privacy

Designed for parents and their daughter, this residence cleverly balances communal living with individual privacy. Each unit boasts its own secluded garden.

Melding Architecture with Nature

The house integrates into the landscape, resembling a natural extension. Concrete volumes punctuate transitional spaces, creating diverse atmospheres around the core living areas. Both the living room and bedrooms open onto porches, highlighting views of the valley and stream.

Drawing Inspiration from Tradition

Taking cues from the three-nave structure of the classic Catalan farmhouse (Masia), this home fuses a concrete structure with a central steel-beamed nave. Concrete walls, textured with pinewood imprints from formworks, echo rural aesthetics. Over time, these walls will harmonize with the landscape, mirroring the land’s rich hue.
