Domus Damero is a golden concrete house with a rectangular base that maximises the space delimited by the regulatory setbacks on a rhomboidal corner plot. A volume perforated with voids arranged in a staggered pattern that compose a checkerboard, not only on the four facades but also in its three-dimensional interior configuration through a double height in its main space.
This composition establishes four different scenes on the ground floor, depending on the orientation, which become four porches in each of its corners thanks to its large windows -concealed in its walls with a galandage system-, generating continuity between the interior and exterior space. Similarly, the upper floor organises each of the four bedrooms in its four corners. The distribution of the domestic programme on both floors is organised around the path of the sun.
The structure is built in white concrete with wooden slatted formwork, making the four large overhangs at the four corners on the ground floor possible. The interior and exterior are diluted thanks to a continuous pavement of Campaspero limestone that extends the four open corners of the house towards the diagonals of the plot, thus generating a greater visual amplitude. A central core houses the staircase, the lift and the installations that run along the three floors of the house. In terms of sustainability, the solar panels feed the energy consumption of the aerothermal system of the house, conceived as a zero-consumption construction.
