El Granero

El Granero, multipurpose warehouse + office + barbecue area + recreational sector

The project proposes a versatile space that allows incorporating different uses according to the necessities for a family on a piece of land adjoining their house.

We think of a visible modulated structure that makes it possible to divide sectors according to the convenience. We use W profiles and thermo-insulating panels with two sheet metal faces and injected rigid polyurethane foam between them and hermetic openings with double glazing.

The construction system optimizes assembly times and the materials used achieve high levels of energy efficiency. For the electrical installation and air conditioning ducts we use pipes and visible boxes made of galvanized sheet metal. The interior floors are made of smooth concrete and on the exterior floors we combine concrete sidewalks with interlocking cement paving stones. We generated a skylight to the north, along the entire length of the nave, to illuminate it without the need to open other openings to the street and thus preserve the intimacy of the interior activities.

We decided to place the wet cores at the ends to make it easier to subdivide the ship. During the execution, the uses of the spaces were defined: car wash, storage, service sector and gym. Finishing off the volume towards one end, we designed a space that houses an office with a large window facing the garden.

We propose an entrance door at each end, for the service sector and for the office and recreational sector.

A sports area and a tennis court are added to the side of the nave. As support for the recreational area, we designed a large eaves as a quincho that contains storage cabinets, kitchenette and bathroom, hidden behind sliding gates. We opted for the same material as the shed for this space and used a composite material of wood and polymers with UV protection for the floor and ceiling. On the west side we proposed sliding panels to stop the afternoon sun in summer.
