la era

Labuerda, a small village in the Spanish Pyrenees, is abandoned in the winter. During the summer, descendants of original villagers come back to spend their holidays in the location and move around among the few permanent residents resulting in a social injection.

On the edge of the village, occupying a corner lot, there is a typical village house with a small barn which served as a storage place for hay and a stable for animals. Now the owner wants to make a holiday home out of it. The original solid stone structure of the existing volume is preserved while being reinforced with a structure made of mass timber panels.
