A deep opening cuts through the smooth ochre facade, framing a living room that looks directly onto fields and a distant tree line. Thick plastered walls, timber ceilings and sliding glass panels establish a calm interior, shaped by proportion and light. From the outside, this villa near Girona presents as a low, horizontal figure in the landscape, its form held close to the ground and defined by a natural palette.

Known as Casa Terra, the house is organised as two near-identical modules arranged side by side. One contains the primary living spaces alongside a bedroom, while the second is given over to two further bedrooms, allowing shared and private uses to sit in parallel. Large openings draw the exterior inward across the plan, with shaded terraces extending the interior footprint and a pool aligned toward open countryside and the Pyrenees beyond. Interiors remain deliberately spare — plaster, wood and stone carrying the architecture — while underfloor heating, air conditioning and a fireplace support year-round use.
Set just outside the village of Rupià in Catalonia’s Empordà region, the house sits beyond the edge of the village in open countryside. It’s currently offered for sale with price on application via Viu Empordà.
