Casa SC: Adaptive Barn Home in Menfi with Soulful Rural Character

Casa SC: Adaptive Barn Home in Menfi with Soulful Rural Character

Casa SC stands in Menfi, Italy, where Vid’A reworks a late 19th-century barn into a contemporary house without erasing its agricultural past. Thick walls, low arches, and a perforated brick screen now frame domestic life while holding onto the traces of work and storage that once filled the volume. The project reads as a careful recovery of character rather than a cosmetic update.

Casa al Pradet by Clara Crous Studio

Casa al Pradet stands on the last triangular plot of a quiet street in Vilamacolum, Spain, where agricultural fields press close to the village edge. Designed by Clara Crous Studio as a self-built house for architect Clara and her partner Carles, the project grows from local farming knowledge, contemporary timber fabrication, and a deep familiarity with the rhythms of the land that surrounds it.

The Catcher stands on the outskirts of Shanghai, China, where rice fields press close to the walls of a once-ordinary rural compound. TEAM_BLDG transforms this house into the Chunli Guesthouse, turning two self-built homes into an 11-room retreat framed by courtyards, terraces, and sunken seating. Guests move between interior and landscape in measured steps, watching the fields slide past as the architecture folds around them.

Los Llanos House stands on rural ground in Paraje los Llanos, TM Lorca, Murcia, Spain, where a near-ruin becomes a lived-in memory. Designed by Pepa Díaz Arquitecta as a house rooted in family history, the project turns a former childhood home into a contemporary dwelling. The restored structure balances emotional continuity with a new way of living that favors shared rooms over compartmentalized domesticity.
