The Casa de la Marina is a social housing building designed by José Antonio Coderch for fishing families from La Barceloneta. From this starting point, the project illustrates how architecture can transcend mere function, adapting to the coastal climate through precise solutions. Its adjustable wooden lattice screens are not merely an aesthetic feature but a system that naturally regulates light and ventilation. Without relying on technology, it offers a way of living where design serves everyday comfort.
This is good to know
The latticework forms a living façade that shifts with the light. What appears to be an aesthetic gesture is, in fact, a clever way to safeguard privacy and make the most of the sea breeze.
