Mar Ruiz interiors was in charge of the interior design work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we can read in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arquitecturaydiseno.es\/casas\/casa-ecologica-luminosa-y-muy-bonita_3025\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Architecture and Design magazine (opens in new tab)\">Architecture and Design magazine,<\/a> The intention behind Pep Zazurca's architecture and interior design firm commissioning this project is based on the following premise: achieve the maximum through the minimum. That is to say: the design of a house with the best technical features (quality, sustainable, and durable materials) at a minimal cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebathcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fachada-y-terraza-de-la-casa-ecologica-disenada-por-pep-zazurca_d61f9dc7_797x1000.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4142\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.thebathcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fachada-y-terraza-de-la-casa-ecologica-disenada-por-pep-zazurca_d61f9dc7_797x1000.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.thebathcollection.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4142\" class=\"wp-image-4142\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebathcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-06-19-20-at-08.57-AM-001_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"4143\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.thebathcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-06-19-20-at-08.57-AM-001_b.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.thebathcollection.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=4143\" class=\"wp-image-4143\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the house's foundations were even laid, it was already known where every wire would run, where every faucet would be located, and even every piece of furniture. To solidify this tangle of intentions, the architects have chosen an industrialized construction system: \u201c<em>We wanted the house to be manufactured in a workshop so that the different pieces could then be assembled on site.<\/em>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A flat plot was chosen to avoid earthworks and retaining walls, with the same aim of maximizing the budget. A timber frame structure, made of pine wood (in walls, roof, and floors), with wood fiber insulation, was erected there. It is remarkable how in this house practical efficiency, ecological awareness, and good decorative taste work together simultaneously, with all the resources of those categories chosen at the lowest possible cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the space fulfills its function of being useful, beautiful, and beneficial in every inch and without waste. In the bright dining room, we find a teak wood table designed by Pep Zazurca alongside Thonet's chair number 30. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebathcollection.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/cocina-casa-ecologica-san-cugat_19c478fd_1500x1017-1024x694.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4134\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The kitchen is a design by Santi Zazurca and Mar Ruiz.
