Volumes for framing the horizon

Román y Basualto Arquitectos como Architecture and Construction

Casa VF was born from the observation of the sequence of the waves of the beach break, which generate different rhythms and approaches to the edge. From this observation, two volumes are projected, two sequences, mounted on a horizontal plinth that raises the views above the horizon of the sea, like the force of the east of the sea on the horizon.

The idea was to generate two independent volumes, which manage to articulate the whole, this is how the first volume, the access volume, allows independence from the rest and be completely self-sufficient, in this way when the owners live alone the house occupies only the upper access volume that houses the master bedroom, with a home office, the living and dining room, the kitchen and a panoramic terrace.

As a beach house, simplicity was sought as a premise, the color palette is very neutral, all based on gray of the concrete and the warm tones of the wood reused from the concrete moldings, its main material is exposed reinforced concrete, pumpkin stone and pine wood reused from the moldings with different ink and paint works.
