In 2016, the architecture firm PMMT completed TR House in Barcelona, Spain. The unique chequerboard screen of glazed ceramic tiles that wraps around the house allows it to blend in with the surrounding gardens.

[[File:Pmmt2.jpg]]

The gardens surround an existing 19th-century house that belonged to the parents of the client. This meant that the architects were faced with the challenge of integrating a new house into the landscape without causing obstruction to the views of the existing house.

The steepness of the site required the volume of the house to be split, so that the three-storey building is partially submerged in the descending ground, and so that access could be provided by entrances on different levels.

Vertical chestnut boards clad the majority of the front and rear facades, with glazed openings that are positioned carefully so as to reveal views but maintain the inhabitants’ privacy.

The other facades are wrapped in a semi-solid surface, cascading down from the pergola on the upper floor terrace. This green surface is comprised of vitrified ceramic tiles fixed to a stainless steel wire lattice. This innovative tile technique has been patented as Fabrik by the manufacturers Shildan Group.
