(english bellow) Chris es un artista, músico y marinero británico que amarra su casa-barco para siempre con la idea de echar raíces en tierra cerca de Barcelona. El bote es un barco de rescate de la segunda guerra mundial recuperado con cariño y un estilo muy personal característico de un personaje carismático y enamorado de la vida.
ERA architects ha diseñado una ampliación que envuelve y protege la casa original dotándola de luz y confort. Este apósito regenerador es un invernadero vertical compuesto de estructura, piel y una escalera-escultura que conecta tres plantas. De esta manera se crean tres espacios-jardines conectados que captan luz y calor a la vez que ordenan las múltiples actividades creativas del polifacético artista.

A british artist ties his houseboat to take root in a house-ecosystem
Chris is an british artist, musician and sailor who ties his houseboat forever with the idea of ​​taking root on land near Barcelona. The boat was a rescue ship from the second world war that the charismatic life-loving owner recovered with affection and with a very personal style.
For this vital turn, we have designed an extension that envelops and protects the original house by providing light and comfort in a sustainable way.
This regenerative dressing is a vertical greenhouse composed of structure, skin and a staircase sculpture that connects the three levels. In this way, three connected gardened spaces are created to capture light and heat while ordering the many creative activities of the multifaceted artist.
