Ca la Tere is the renovation of a 125-year-old narrow terraced family house. The project transforms an obsolete and heavily compartmentalized layout into an open, light-filled home adapted to contemporary standards of comfort, while preserving the memory and identity of the original building.

The intervention is driven by subtraction: all internal partitions are removed, retaining only the load-bearing wall — the former façade — that separated the original volume from the later extension. Working through section and void, the project allows natural light to penetrate deep into the elongated plan. The existing roofs, previously in a state of disrepair, are demolished and rebuilt to improve energy performance and natural light, making it possible to create a new terrace overlooking the distant sea. An open mezzanine studio mediates between interior and exterior.

Material continuity plays a central role. Rasilla floor tiles — traditionally used for terraces — blur the boundary between inside and outside, reinforcing the perception of the house as a continuous inhabitable landscape shaped by light, height, and spatial openness.
