Catalan architecture firm PMMT designs the inimitable TR House.
When Catalan architecture firm PMMT embarked on the TR House in Barcelona, it soon became clear that the trapezium-shaped site posed certain challenges. Not only was its topography vastly uneven, but the fact that it was located within the grounds of an existing historical building introduced stringent urban planning regulations into the mix. However, rather than balk at the task at hand, the architects rose to the occasion to design an inspired and innovative abode for one young family.
Building controls dictated that the new structure had to integrate itself with the verdant landscape surrounding it, while at the same time providing the family with all of the form and function expected of their home. The result is a striking yet contextually sympathetic cube, partially wrapped in a green vitrified ceramic skin that camouflages the building with its lush locale.
