Villain House is a concrete replica of an old Barcelona townhouse

Local studio Architecture Office Claudia Raurell has replaced a dilapidated townhouse in Barcelona with a concrete home that mimics its original footprint.

Named Villain House, the home incorporates the existing front facade, which Architecture Office Claudia Raurell said was the only salvageable part of the structure.

The new volume has a blocky, straw-coloured concrete structure that almost exactly matches the footprint of the original building.
