Circular Additions and a Triangular Atrium Turn a Generic Spanish Home Into a Personal Paradise

It’s hard to describe how peaceful Girona is. The rambling Spanish province connects the mountains of Andorra in the west to the Costa Brava seashore along the Mediterranean. Just a short drive from Barcelona, Girona is a popular weekend escape, but it has plenty of quiet spots without crowds. In some villages, you’ll see homes with more balconies than people. And on one of these balconies, you might find Miguel Lorán and Isabel Campos.

For Miguel and Isabel, Girona is where their lives come together. The couple, both lawyers, first met at work in 2002, but they didn’t get together romantically right away. For years, their lives ran on parallel tracks: Miguel in Barcelona and Isabel in Madrid, both married to other people. It was only in 2019 that they reconnected at a concert when a mutual friend reintroduced them, and the couple soon started their life together.
