The Popular House

An omnipresent garage doorway in the project makes us look for strategies to mitigate its prominence. And this is how one piece of machinery turned into a façade neutralises another, the car, while at the same time providing another peculiar character for the heterogeneity of this neighbourhood.

A half-level difference between the street and the back garden leads us to work on semi-levels and turns the section into the main organisational and representational feature of the project.

The Eixample Popular now has new neighbours. And meanwhile my mother-in-law, who lives just behind it, looks at everything through the window; now that’s popular!
