NP´S HOUSE – 2005/2013
adequacy of existing housing, with 262.09m2 of gross floor area, to the
actual needs of comfort for an family of 4 persons and the housing laws and
rules of construction and building regulations.
the building currently in the middle of a great mass of trees, as a mark.
the housing consists of two floors, the ground-floor dedicated to service
functions and garage, and the top floor exclusively dedicated to housing.
without questioning the value of the pre-existence, the proposal maintains
the current volume, offering the services and the social spaces of the family.
the expansion develops in the direction of the slope (west), where she opens a
space for external expansion, contained in the far west area of the new rooms
and the corridor north by stitching both areas of housing. adjacent to the
house at the ground-floor is nesting in the back of the hill, the garage,
hidden under a coating plant.
the intervention is in essence an extension of each of the habitable areas,
increasing the number of existing health services (maintaining the same number
of rooms), yielding a total gross area of 469.11m2.the landscape was the
subject of major concern. the new emerges organically from the old. the
building emerges as a root that groes, goes through the ground and anchor to
life on earth.

important element of preexisting is the roof - using the force in his profile
to redesign and merged in the woods pending.
