Located in the heart of Barcelona’s Sarrià neighborhood, Casa Grases project embodies the respectful rehabilitation of a late 18th-century residence through a contemporary architectural language.

The architectural concept of the project is rooted in a reverential respect for the original architecture of the house.

The deliberate articulation of details and the connections between old and new create a visual and spatial balance with the existing building, perceived as a whole that unites the craftsmanship of the past with the comfort and technology of the 21st century.

The structural intervention was marked by its complexity. The surgical rehabilitation of the existing structures ranged from repair to replacement, alongside the adaptation of underground spaces to accommodate a parking level and the incorporation of the new-built volume.

The extension is conceived as a neutral element, one that does not seek to compete with the visual strength of the house but rather to accompany it through a reinterpretation of the features that distinguish it, where the solemnity of the original architecture coexists with the pure lines of modern design.

The creation of the new-built volume has made it possible to adapt the structure to current accessibility standards, transforming the uses of the original architecture and breathing new life into an abandoned building.

Precise and intentional interventions have revealed the building’s history while creating a renewed experience of the preexistence, now adapted to the new functions of architecture and contemporary living.
