VENTALLÓ · EMPORDÀ

Two old barns.
A restoration carried out slowly.
A new way to inhabit them.

Between countryside and sea, Els Pallers recovers the essence of old rural buildings and brings it into a serene, light-filled and deeply Mediterranean way of living.

BEFORE ELS PALLERS

It all started here.

Stone, generous volumes and years of history. We did not want to erase what was already there. We wanted to understand it, preserve what mattered and continue its story.

THE STARTING POINT

You had to know how to look.

Where others might have seen an old barn, we imagined light, double-height spaces, patios and open rooms.

“Restoration does not begin with a blank page. It begins by listening to what was already there.”

THE RESTORATION

It is not about making it new.

It is about deciding what to preserve, what to recover and what to introduce. The work moves forward with careful attention to proportions, junctions, textures and details. A meticulous, almost artisanal process.

Restoring also means knowing when to stop.

THE DSEA PROCESS

Every decision matters.

A wall tone. A piece of iron. The texture of a stone. Timber underfoot. The way light enters the room.

This is how Els Pallers takes shape: one decision at a time.

MEMORY

Preserving what deserves to remain.

MATERIALS

Stone. Timber. Iron. Concrete.

Honest materials, natural textures and tones that belong to the landscape. Chosen not only for how they look today, but for how we want them to age.

THE ARCHITECTURE

Space to breathe.

The living area is the heart of Els Pallers. Kitchen, dining room and lounge share one generous open space, where the double-height volume lets the architecture breathe and allows light to travel through the home.

INDOORS AND OUT

Living inside. Living outside.

Gravel and stone patios, Mediterranean planting and small pools extend the home into the outdoors.

TWO HOMES

Two barns. Two ways to inhabit them.

More intimate. More secluded.

A light-filled home arranged around its patio, where stone, timber and natural tones create a calm atmosphere.

CALM

A home that does not need to raise its voice.

BETWEEN COUNTRYSIDE AND SEA

Empordà, at a different pace.

In Pelacalç, within the municipality of Ventalló, Els Pallers is around 5 minutes by car from l’Escala and around 10 minutes by bicycle from villages such as Viladamat or l’Armentera.

Close enough to everything. Far enough away to feel you have arrived somewhere else.
