Mach has designed Collumpio House in Barcelona, Spain.

This project proposes an austere and honest architecture with an emphasis on the client's needs in terms of both programme and economics – proposing a totally open house capable of adapting to the different needs of the client, in addition to being able to close and open spaces according to the client's wishes.

For this purpose, a very clear structure was conceived to give value to the exterior and interior of the house. The construction and structural materials are the main elements of the house and give it a unique character.

Collumpio House aims to frame and close off a piece of air in this area of Barcelona and emphasises its main construction elements. A heavy plinth is built – in relation to the garden and the earth – on which rests a light metal framework structure open to the landscape and the sun.

This project has been longlisted in the urban house category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
