Aixopluc completes cork and cross-laminated timber extension to traditional Catalan house

Catalan architecture office Aixopluc replaced several improvised sheds and porches surrounding an old house in the city of Reus with an extension that utilises a similar palette of low-cost, lightweight building materials.The 1,000-square-metre plot in Aixopluc's home city of Reus was owned by the client's father, who prior to his death had spent decades adding various ad-hoc structures to a traditional two-storey farmhouse.
