In the heart of Granollers, a family breathed life into an old house they inherited. Their ambition? To convert it into a comfortable home on a stringent budget of less than €150,000.

The name “Casa Libre” is the choice of the owners who worked with our team and who shared their dreams and desires for their permanent home. And why this name for the house? The “house” as a home, around a cosy patio and “Libre” for its transparency, lightness and space of freedom, both architecturally and in actual living.
