Signature

Tucked into the rolling countryside outside Gijón, Asturias, Casa Guadalupe stands as a quietly striking testament to how minimalist architecture can be anything but subdued. Designed and prefabricated in Spain by innovative studio Hanghar, this elegant residence reimagines what a modern home can be—balancing refined simplicity with bold spatial clarity. Built off-site, delivered in pieces, and assembled in a matter of days, Casa Guadalupe showcases how modular design and minimalist principles can produce a house that feels both warm and adventurous, strategically connected to its surroundings while expressing a confident architectural identity.

At first glance, the home’s clean lines and restrained material palette might suggest subtlety, but a closer look reveals a structure that is anything but ordinary. Its elevated stance—rising serenely above the sloping site—creates panoramic views across the landscape, while the lightweight steel frame and prefabricated envelope speak to a new era of efficient, thoughtful construction. Rather than treating prefabrication as a uniform industrial process, Hanghar has woven an expressive and highly site-responsive architectural language through modular assembly, showing that minimalism and prefabrication can coexist with character and spatial richness.

Inside, the house unfolds as a study in light, texture, and restraint. Crisp surfaces, panoramic glazing, and a warm, minimalist aesthetic allow the sweeping countryside to become part of the interior experience, reinforcing the idea that less can be infinitely more when executed with intent. Casa Guadalupe not only challenges conventional notions of modular housing—it celebrates them, proving that simplicity rooted in thoughtful design can be as exciting and compelling as any traditional home.
