A system, the fragmentation of a composite grid,
is incorporated into an already dense development.
It includes an empty central space, either open or
closed, for each of the two built units, a patio
providing light, defining circulations and denying
the basement. The project builds double by necessity,
while understanding the duplicity in duality,
blurring in this way the adjoining volumes, its
common boundaries.
Attach and detach to read two individual entities
belonging to the same project, that of an ensemble.
Understanding the ground as the base that bears
the house. Turning the living area extension into
an evening area for receptions, a prestigious space.
Borrowing a ground that intersects the project’s
volumes and surfaces, connecting the different
levels.
Combining an enclosed, sheltered indoor area
with a framed, open, outdoor area.
Making the sleeping area both a connected and
cantilevered entity, projecting into the garden
in the light of the central patio and enjoying a constant
cross view over the two gardens – the first
bordering the entrance and the second, more private,
serving as an extension of the living room.
Supported by a concrete base, the construction
uses two types of precast concrete in composite
walls with a pattern that reflects a horizontal
division for the emerging, anchored volume and
another one delicately laying over it.
Both constructions are similar in their unity of
composition and dissimilar in the different uses
made of the grid, a 6 m x 6 m system enabling
multiple combinations.
