Casa Sica is generated under the premise of an efficient and low-maintenance construction, to be developed in a site with topographical and climatic particularities.
It starts from the generation of a rectangular volume, with an East/West orientation, which is implanted on some stone terraces that absorb the natural inclination of the hill and allow it to be located taking advantage of the view of a neighboring native forest and good sunlight. This rectangular volume was divided and separated in order to generate a semi-covered space, which not only divided and organized the functional program, but also generated a meeting space sheltered from the prevailing winds without losing views.
From the separation of these volumes functions are divided, and on one side it is possible to build a house with a living/dining room/kitchen plus a room with a complete bathroom and on the other side, separated by the semi-covered gallery space, an apartment with a bathroom intended for visitors. With this, privacy could be maintained in the event that two families live together, maintaining a unique and compact image and volumetry.
From this premise of maintaining and reinforcing that predominant rectangular volumetry, the idea of materializing the pergola of the gallery with the same inclination and direction as the gabled roof of the house arises.
All rooms in the house and in the visitor's department face north and have views of the Alamos forest that adjoins it, thus making better use of the spaces in winter, limited at this time of year by the inclement weather typical of the place.
The house was made with a dry construction system (Steel Framing), chosen not only for its thermal efficiency, but also for its rapid execution, necessary due to its location and its distance from big cities.
