Casa Morera by ZHUD studio
Casa Morera unfolds as a house in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Spain, crafted by ZHUD studio in 2024. Set within a residential context, the project focuses on daily living and rhythm rather than gesture, using clear planning moves to shape the experience of home. It reads as a composed residential work with a measured stance, where the plan steers the atmosphere and pace.
Morning light skims the entry and holds for a beat before moving on. A simple threshold slows the step, making the act of arrival feel deliberate.
Casa Morera is a house in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Spain, designed by ZHUD studio in 2024. It orients everyday life around an orderly plan, prioritizing sequence and routine over spectacle. The architecture reads as measured and calm, with circulation and rooms arranged to keep domestic life legible and unhurried.
Enter And Pause
Arrival resolves into a clear starting point, a place to shed pace and gather bearings. The threshold mediates public and private zones so first steps inside don’t spill into the heart of the home, setting the cadence for the day.
Move Through Rooms
Circulation reads clean, with paths that encourage intuitive movement rather than detours. Rooms link with straightforward connections: each transition keeps sightlines purposeful and the plan steady, reducing friction as daily tasks unfold (from morning prep to evening wind-down).
Frame Daily Rituals
The house gives routine a backbone—places to cook, gather, work, and rest sit in a balanced relationship. Rather than a single showpiece room, a chain of well-scaled areas supports fluid shifts between quiet focus and shared time.
Light And Thresholds
Openings are paced to temper brightness and guide attention, allowing daylight to cue time without glare. Filters at transitions soften contrast so movement from one room to the next feels even, and small moments of shade keep interiors readable.
Order And Comfort
Proportions stay pragmatic, with furnishings and circulation allowed enough air to work without fuss. Storage and service points sit where they are needed most, keeping routines supported and rooms clear of clutter.
As daylight fades, the plan continues to carry the mood. Edges stay calm, paths stay sure, and the house returns to quiet without strain. Casa Morera holds steady, letting daily life take the lead.
