Casa Bosque de Niebla II

BCA Taller de Diseño as Architects

This project arises from two guiding conditions: first, the intention to consolidate itself as a guest house having a previous project to which it is subtly integrated, and second, the relationship by contrast between the location, the volumetric arrangement and the free areas against the built spaces. It is in itself a recognition of the commitment of the entire team that was involved in a first project with the clients, who at the time requested the design and construction of their house and then established contact again in order to entrust a guest house on a plot of land attached to the property of their home.

Recognizing this great opportunity and, above all, the commitment to further endorse the experience of solving the needs of clients through architecture, the new design was formulated under premises framed in the previously mentioned guiding ideas, as well as the guarantee of being able to create the same atmospheres and spatial quality in the face of a significant change in scale or a different vocation to that of the main house.

In this way, this project is integrated in terms of its materials and colours with the predecessor project, i.e. flattened white stucco, enclosure stone as covering and wood as a second skin, perceiving itself as a single whole. Then, it is distinguished by a volumetric relationship that integrates a horizontal body – converted into a continuous ribbon between roof, wall and floor - in which the architectural program is incorporated on a first level, contrasting with an almost hermetic vertical prism that contains the vertical circulation that intercommunicates all the levels of the project, as well as the main access framed by another horizontal prism, a continuation of the ribbon that integrates the slab.
