Over the years, the inhabitants of an old house in La Garrotxa have been able to build a rual reservoir to cool off on hot summer days. The house, with its simple, square and compact volume, was built by an ancestor and later extended with a beautiful south-facing glazed gallery.

But if there is one thing that characterises the original building, it is the exposed brick corners and the exterior ceramic paving, which allow the house to extend very naturally into the garden most months of the year.

The proposal for the reservoir seeks to generate reverberations with this universe of baked earth that has characterised the place since its initial conception. Built over the garden area, which guarantees both complete sunlight and maximum privacy, the project extends horizontally to create an area for bathing, playing, reading and resting, sheltered by the wall that delimits the property.

A small living volume is attached to the existing garage to house the necessary machinery and an open-air dressing room. Finally, a sardinel channel of recovered solid bricks allows irrigation to circulate throughout the garden. A simple set of planes unfolds over the terrain to form a habitable ceramic topography amidst the lushness of this fertile retreat.
