castell d'empordà

Instead of constructing a heavy building extension, the design introduces a canopy composed of 12 abstract parasols of varying diameters.

Where the circles touch, they seamlessly merge; where they part, sky-lit glass cutouts fill the gaps, creating an organic canopy that feels like a natural pavilion rather than a permanent room.

The outer top and rim feature rusted steel, echoing the warm, weathered hues of the castle stone and local landscape. Beneath, white-painted steel columns and ceilings reflect light, creating a bright, breezy atmosphere under the canopy.

Integrated transparent sliding curtains remain open during pleasant weather. When sudden Mistral winds or rain arrive, the entire terrace can be fully enclosed within minutes without compromising the view.
