Canyet is the largest neighborhood in the city of Badalona and is located in the heart of the Marina mountain range. Until the early twentieth century the main economic activity of the neighborhood was agriculture and territorial organization was organized from a followed by Masies that managed the resources around them. Although much of the vineyard crops have now been lost, there are still some farmhouses and fields that maintain a certain character of the rural and agricultural past of the area.

The project of the house 1615_MS is based on a careful reading of the urban, architectural, historical and social context. An old auxiliary construction of one of these large farmhouses is being rehabilitated which still preserves some cultivated fields destined for the vineyard. The building, intended for animals and for storing tools, was in a deplorable state that threatened rubble.

One of the requirements of housing is the flexibility and use of all the resources we have at our disposal. The plot has exceptional conditions and privileged views towards the Masia de Can Codina and the Marina mountain range which are a fundamental part of the proposal.

A series of windows open that look for the landscape and the territory to be part of the daily life of the inhabitants of the house. A large window frames Can Codina from the living room and a window opens on the south wall that frames the views towards Collserola above the city.

A traditional construction with local materials and local labor is proposed. There is a manifest intention of expressiveness through structural sincerity and the materials used in each of the constructive processes. We are looking for an honest, simple, easy construction that combines the naturalness and spontaneity of traditional materials with the ability to manifest the origins of the original construction.
