Comas-Pont Arquitectes Designs House Around Century-Old Fig Tree in Spain

A century-old fig tree, a change in level between the street and the garden, and the modest character of neighboring buildings shaped the design of a residential project by Comas-Pont Arquitectes. The house, published by ArchDaily under the title "La casa de la higuera," takes its name from the ancient tree that anchors the site. The architects treated the level difference between the street and the garden as a defining condition of the project rather than an obstacle. The surrounding built fabric, described as modest in character, informed the scale and approach of the new intervention. The project is credited to Comas-Pont arquitectes, an architecture studio. The scheme is presented on ArchDaily's Chilean edition, at the URL archdaily.cl. No construction dates, client identity, project location beyond the Spanish-language context, budget, or square footage are specified in the available material.
