This proposal for 20 social dwellings in Santa Maria del Camí reinterprets local building traditions through a contemporary lens. The design preserves existing trees to create a shaded public park and uses a bioclimatic gallery as a passive system
for light and ventilation. Load-bearing thermoclay walls – filled with site soil – eliminate the need for columns. Local marés stone façades blend seamlessly into the historic townscape, while reused timber, natural cork, dry Posidonia, and ceramic tiles form a palette rooted in place and ecology. Communal roof terraces
and a daytime-open green corridor connects residents to the town.
