CASA RO

The land where the project is located is a private residential zone, with very specificrestrictions.The architectural approach we are proposing allows an uneven distribution squad that offers service areas across the boundaries of the designated area, allowing a free flow while emphasizing one of the major elements in the house; the central courtyard, presented as the heart of the home.


Alongside this approach, the vocation of the land and its relation to the edge of a ravine, can generate an internal distribution,creating a clear separation between public and private areas, each situated in a different wing of the ground floor.


The architectural program is adapted to the topography and solves the distribution of the residence intotwo levels, with the upper floor access and utilizing service areas, as the downstairs level is dedicated to the social and private areas. Worthy of note, is the shift in the volume of the social area so that the exterior corridors seize the gap and unite the space with the ravine.


By using apparent brick, with a detailed arrangement, the character of this space is defined by creating a clear distinction between the outside and inside. Likewise, the use of lattices defines a permeable volume, generating unique gardens and avariety of light and shadow features. This detail defines an enriching spatial experience, as visuals are carefully framedcreating different looks outwards.


The private areas, such as bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen and TV studio, are distributed around the central courtyard on the lower level.This configurationmaintains aconnection to the outer space and nature.


The topography and locationonthe site are the qualitieswhich allow Casa RO, the integration with its context in a subtle butdefinitive intention, thus achieving aflowing, comprehensive architectural and spatial depth.


BRIEF Permeable volume created with brick lattices, integrating its context, through courtyards and a set of lights and shadows.
