Inside a Half-Buried Hillside Home in Barcelona | Unique Spaces | Architectural Digest

Join AD just north of Barcelona to tour Semienterrada with architect Javier Barba and current owner Ezequiel Pini. Designed in the 1980s by Barba, this home’s name translates to ‘half-buried’ and is a pioneering example of sustainable and bioclimatic architecture in Spain. Blending seamlessly into the landscape, Semienterrada was ahead of its time in using natural insulation, passive solar design, and organic materials to create a harmonious and energy-efficient living space. Discover how its innovative design continues to inspire a new generation of architects and environmentalists today. Feeling inspired?
