In this project there are no “finishing” materials, hence its name, as we seek that each construction element be shown as it is, with its beauty and its “subtle imperfections”. Not as a whim or to fit into a trend, but as a result of a deep analysis of the requirements of Anthony and Paulina (the boys), who would inhabit this space.
In the design process we set 3 guidelines: the spatial, the aesthetic and the adaptation to the place.
Spatially, inside the home we look for fluid environments that allow a direct relationship between spaces where there are almost no physical limits, since the boys are a couple who likes to be in permanent contact during their various activities, also this would not only be their home, but also their study, their workplace and they wanted not to feel a marked difference between "living" and "working", but rather to be environments that allow them various possibilities of adaptation and a fluidity in their daily activities.
The aesthetic component is the result of a very meticulous and detailed work, the error has no place, since nothing can be "corrected with decorative or finishing elements", for this we work with materials that are beautiful by nature, so which exposed concrete, steel and glass are the protagonists within the aesthetic and formal composition.
In the context, towards the north and the south very marked closings are created, since the boys were not interested in being related to the immediate context (the neighbors). These closings are two exposed concrete walls, which are divided to differentiate the necessary areas towards the interior of the house, the same one that has large openings towards what is desired (the visual ones), openings that relate it and adapt it to the landscape, achieving a perfect harmony between interior housing, exterior housing and its natural landscape.
