Architecture practices Jaime Prous Architects and Pineda Monedero have projected Casa 144º in Maresme, a Spanish region located in the province of Barcelona. The house is built on a sloping site without altering the landscape. Supported by a lightweight metal structure and wooden walls, the house is laid out on a single plan that traces a broken line at a 144º angle, with the cantilevered end oriented towards the mountain views.

Project description by FGA Arquitectes, Jaime Prous Architects and Pineda Monedero Sant Pol beach apartments The plot is located on San Pol beach, a summer resort area on the Costa Brava that has been intensively developed since 1916. It is one of the last remaining plots to be developed, with numerous pine trees in front of Sa Caleta, a cove nestled among rock formations sculpted by the Tramontana wind.

Pineda Monedero and Jaime Prous Architects created a rectangular pavilion with orthogonally arranged interior divisions. The exterior consists of a white, perforated wall through which the striking colours of the interior are perceived, generating a sense of curiosity and attraction in the spectators who seek to enter it. Each colour indicates a different space: blue is used in the main hall of the pavilion, while red is shown in the more private meeting rooms.
