The proposal
responds to an specific program for a 4 members family.
The design
is developed out of an existing foundation, from which it was necessary to define
clarity on the volumes that constitute the house, considering the use of
materials and the program that each box contains.
The stone
box is the hermetic one; it contains the principal bathroom and services areas such
as: storage, maid’s room and garage. The wooden box contains all public areas
living room, dining room, studio, bar, kitchen, tv room, visits and kids rooms.
Access is through the void generated in between this 2, connecting directly to
the living room, a double height space where the main stairs and the linking bridge
between the boxes are located.
A metallic
structure was proposed for the need of fast construction and lightness over the
existing foundation, prefabricated materials were used and based on its
modulation they were perforated to generate the visual relation in-between
interior and exterior.
