Casa MiDi: a home in Barcelona’s Sants neighbourhood that grew in step with a new life

27 October 2026
Júlia Marbà Prats
In the Sants neighbourhood, architect Júlia Marbà and designer Rocco Bibbiani transform an early 20th-century flat for a couple expecting their first child. Júlia tells us about a project in which the building work and life moved forward at the same time. It should have been called the House of Fertility.

The fulfilled dream of young architect Júlia Marbà Prats: building her own home-studio for herself, her partner and their child

Júlia Marbà Prats
“Casa Oasis is the jewel I had always dreamed of. It is that goal for which many of us begin studying architecture: without knowing whether someone will ever commission a project from you, but with the certainty that, at the very least, you will be able to build your own.” —Júlia Marbà
