Casa Ugalde is located in Caldes
d’Estrac, a small town north of Barce-
lona. It is one of the first masterpieces
by the modernist architect José Antonio
Coderch, in collaboration with Manuel
Valls. It was commissioned in 1951 by
a friend of Coderch, the industrial en-
gineer Eustaquio Ugalde, who loved
to take walks on the hillside where the
house stands. In this idyllic setting, the
Ugalde family wanted to build a house
that would blend seamlessly into its
natural surroundings; nestled in the
lush Mediterranean pine forest, with
a spectacular panoramic sea view.
With this in mind, Coderch and Valls
built a series of volumes that grow out
of nature, absorbing the serpentine
topography and looking out to the end-
less sea. An irregular construction,
open-plan and free-flowing; formed
by unique spaces that transform with
natural light, and merge into the forest
that slopes down to the blue waters.

barracas” (1952)
La Casa Ugalde, en Caldes d’Estrac,
un pequeño pueblecito al norte de
Barcelona, es una de las primeras
obras maestras del arquitecto de la
modernidad José Antonio Coderch
de Sentmenat, en colaboración con
Manuel Valls. Fue un encargo del ing-
eniero Eustaquio Ugalde en 1951, amigo
del arquitecto y aficionado a pasear
por la colina donde se encuentra hoy
esta casa de muros blancos. En tal
paraje idílico, rodeado de una frondosa
pineda mediterránea y dominando una
espectacular panorámica sobre el mar,
los Ugalde querían una vivienda no
protagonista. Así que Coderch y Valls
plantearon una sucesión de volúmenes
que surgen de la naturaleza, adap-
tándose a la compleja topografía y
asomándose a las inmensidades
marinas. Una construcción irregular,
abierta y libre formada por espacios
únicos y cambiantes bajo la luz, que se
fusionan con la pineda que desciende
hasta el mar.
