House in Sant Climenç

05 AM Arquitectura as Architects

The aim of this rebuilt is to adapt an old house with a ground floor and two more floors for to use it as a accommodation of rural tourism. The volume was existing but our intervention required to do a new floor between first floor and second floor. It is proposed the aim to resolve a nice space with a small rural character, without fall in a quaint traditionalism and trying to merge with a modern image. We have to do this with a low budget so our proposal is based to try obtaining the maximum performance from the constructive solutions and materials more basics with the available resources. What initially could seem limitations, they become the essence to a way of give answers, based in the wit at the moment to use construction’s simple materials. In this way, for to resolve the new staircase is proposed that at the same time the builder makes up the wall, he puts a steel plate every three rows, that also it will be fixed in the existing opposite wall, getting make a staircase in a easy and efficient way. Even we get a shelves leaving pass the steel plates in the other side of the wall. For the general lighting, when the builder makes the floor of the new structure, it is foreseen to put a cement vault turned upside down, subjected in-between two beams and where is put the light. An easy way to get a general lighting which it will be in line with the resolution of the roof. The basic construction materials are left naked to highlight their qualities and to get a simple and austere image from the accommodation.
