Harquitectes inserts a single-family house into a narrow plot in the historic centre of Terrassa, between party walls. House 1701 resolves the urban fabric with a compact volume that combines load-bearing brick walls, structural timber and a vertical sequence of double-height spaces that bring natural light deep into the section. The atmosphere is calm and tactile: exposed materials, controlled openings and a quiet relationship with the surrounding rooftops.
The project is featured in the monograph El Croquis 203 — Harquitectes 2010-2020.
