Casa Claustre

Casa Claustre is an introverted town house built around a central marés-stone courtyard — a contemporary cloister. Thick golden sandstone walls hold the street at arm's length and give everything back to the patio: a single olive tree, a low stone bench and a slender external stair crossing the open-air void.

Rooms face the courtyard rather than the street, drawing their light and quiet from the shaded core. Warm marés stone, natural timber, lime and terracotta keep the palette restrained so nothing competes with the play of sun and shadow.
