The project transforms a former pigsty in the village of Sasamón, in the province of Burgos, Spain, into a contemporary single-family home. The intervention, respectful of vernacular architecture, inserts a laminated timber structure within the existing volume, creating a new way of inhabiting the space without erasing the building’s rural memory.
