Estudio MMX interweaves open spaces throughout porous pigmented concrete villa

A sequence of open spaces with a gradual degree of intimacy allow residents to move gently from the public street-facing spaces to the private backyard.

Estudio MMX translated the client's wishes for a garden, terraces and a central patio into a playful dialogue between built and open spaces.

The architects implemented a 3x3x3 grid and distributed ten volumes organized around a central patio. Two units are interwoven that can be used separately. The compact porous massing creates ideal sunlight conditions without compromising privacy.

Red pigmented concrete was used throughout the project to shape pergolas, slabs, beams and walls as a unifying element.
