Prefabricated concrete house with a porch
Custom modular home with gym and service suite
Industrialised home, fully custom-designed for a family of four seeking a functional and generous layout, conceived to maximise outdoor living.
The house is set on a plot of nearly 1,500 m² and offers a built area of 396 m² distributed over two levels. The large 75 m² covered porch is the defining feature of the project. It was proposed by the inHAUS team following an analysis of the clients’ needs, with the aim of enhancing the living spaces.
From the outset, the project has been shaped by the clients’ strong involvement in the design process, resulting in several iterations as the project evolved. Over time, they refined their needs and priorities, allowing the design of their future home to be progressively adapted.
On the ground floor, the living area includes a kitchen independent from the main living room with a large pantry, a spacious open-plan living area organised into different zones, a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a study, and a service bedroom with a private bathroom. On the upper floor, three en-suite bedrooms with individual bathrooms are complemented by a dressing room.
The home is completed by an independent gym, with direct access from the exterior.

Outdoor spaces
as the central feature
The 75 m² covered porch is the key element of the project. It was not part of the initial brief but was proposed by inHAUS after analysing the clients’ needs. It becomes a natural extension of the living room, increasing usable space and extending daily life outdoors.
For the clients, open and outdoor spaces were essential, as they envisioned their future home as a place for gathering and socialising with family and friends. For this reason, an open-plan living space (while maintaining distinct areas) was designed, with strong continuity towards the exterior through large glazed openings and the porch.
The project also includes a gym with independent access from outside, a fully equipped and private space within the plot.
A generous and clearly
functional layout
The ground floor accommodates the main living area, conceived as a large social space for sharing moments. The spacious open-plan living room is arranged in an L-shaped layout, creating different atmospheres: a warm area with a built-in fireplace and a more intimate lounge space dedicated to watching television.
There is also a separate kitchen with ample storage capacity, visually connected to the exterior. This level also includes two en-suite bedrooms with private bathrooms (one for staff and one for guests), as well as a study.
The upper floor is dedicated to the family’s private area, with three en-suite bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.
Inside, the home stands out for its use of natural materials: natural stone on walls and staircases, and wood in the common areas, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The seven modules and the 75 m² porch of this modular home were transported by truck for over five hours to Barcelona.

Customisation of this concrete modular
home with a porch
As the project progressed, the design underwent several changes. Initially, the programme included a basement garage, but after further analysis, it was decided to allocate this space to a fully equipped service area with its own bedroom and bathroom, anticipating future needs and the possibility of having in-house staff. The concept of a generous porch extending the living area became the defining feature of the design. It directly addressed the clients’ main priority: creating a home where spaces can be shared and outdoor areas fully enjoyed.
Plan and layout
Custom prefabricated concrete home in Barcelona
This home adopts a relatively compact O-shaped layout. The programme is based on functionality and the clients’ real patterns of use. In total, the house includes a large 55 m² open-plan living area, five en-suite bedrooms each with a private bathroom, a dressing room and a guest toilet (including one suite for staff and another for guests). It also features a 13 m² study integrated within the living area, allowing for a more private TV space, as well as a gym with independent access.
