In the village of Fonteta, located in the Baix Empordà region, a comprehensive refurbishment project was carried out on a traditional Catalan farmhouse, with the aim of transforming it into a high-end single-family home.
The project meticulously respected the farmhouse’s original stone structure, while integrating new technologies to improve spatial functionality and energy efficiency. A new swimming pool and an outdoor porch were also built, both designed to blend harmoniously into the property’s rustic landscape. The refurbishment sought to preserve the essence of the architectural heritage while adapting it to contemporary standards of comfort and style.

We have brought to fruition
The comprehensive refurbishment of a traditional farmhouse
- The works were carried out while preserving the original stone structure and its traditional materials and volumes, applying targeted reinforcements to guarantee safety and structural stability. Roofs were also refurbished and improvements were made to the thermal envelope, increasing energy efficiency without compromising the building’s identity.
We have made possible
Precise construction with attention to every detail
- Coordination of specialised trades skilled in stonework, timber and high-end finishes, with a high level of quality and detail requirements.
- Use of natural stone repointing and restoration techniques with compatible mortars.
- Use of locally sourced materials with a low environmental footprint, particularly for cladding and stone elements.
We’ve worked with dedication
Integrating technology to enhance comfort and wellbeing
- Spacious and light-filled interior spaces with high levels of thermal and acoustic insulation.
- Integration of climate control systems such as underfloor heating and aerothermal energy.
- Installation of home automation systems to control climate and lighting.
