Xavier Corberó’s House.

Born in Barcelona in 1935, Xavier Corberó’s career spans over 50 years, during which time his work has been exhibited across the world, from NYC to Japan. Considered by some to be the most significant Catalan artist of the past 50 years, his most remarkable piece of work, and undoubtedly his most personal, is his home which he has been designing and curating for the past 40 years.
In 1967 he acquired an ancient house and plot of land in Esplugues de Llobregat, a village in the outskirts of Barcelona, and developed it extensively until his death in 2017 into a highly elaborate complex of houses (largely devoted to hosting artists-in-residence, as well as his own residence) and exhibition spaces, which also houses a significant sample of his sculptures and personal collections.
The exteriors include geometric concrete structures stacking at different heights to create commanding sculptures amidst the wild surrounds and bodies of water.
A construction where the most representative are its multiple arches with mirador function. Every detail of this house has the objective to let see the exterior beauty, the natural light. Pursuing to connect art and nature. Pursuing that the home was authentic poetry…

How would you define this space?
