In the design of this residence, a clear approach stands out to play to the maximum with the limitations of the property without losing the qualities of comfort, privacy and spatial quality required by the clients, ensuring that the work times, the quality of the execution in every detail and the efficiency in the resources used were optimal. This residential project was designed and built by BCA Taller de Diseño inside a housing development in Xalapa, Veracruz, it is located on a 300 m2 property, with a steep slope in a privileged corner condition.
The external image can be seen as a semi-vertical volume that rises from the ground in a robust way, but that fragments as it rises to become patios or terraces that frame the vegetation of the context, allowing ventilation and natural lighting, at the same time, by projecting various planes that play with heights or their projection as slabs, they guarantee privacy and acquire character through the textures generated by the nature of the changes of the different materials used.
These ensembles, which make up a complex interior functioning, allow the architectural program to be solved by making use of the levels and accesses that allow the vehicular flows of the roads that delimit it. Thus, through the main street of the subdivision, vehicular access is through a basement that houses the parking for three vehicles, a cellar, service bathroom and a staircase that intercommunicates with the main hall of the house.
On the secondary avenue there is the service access confined to one side of the property and to the center, the pedestrian access which is accessed through a staircase – garden that connects to the main lobby, a space from which, a staircase discreetly protected by a wooden lattice dressed in enclosure stone intercommunicates to the next level, the most private. From this point you can discover the living room, a study, guest bathroom, kitchen with dining room, terrace, main dining room and an extensive garden at level that expands the entire area of greatest public contact of this house.
