The project focuses on in providing the right conditions so that, by means of flexible spaces, it is possible to meet the needs of a family during its development.
Composed of two elements, the volume is presented in a clean way. Both unveil a constant duality based on contrast, through their materials, textures and proportions.
As a suggestion of lightness, the back element is suspended to allow the social areas to be revealed and extendend towards the garden; on the other hand, private and service uses are preserved within the volumes.
In conclusion, the project is conceptualized as more than just a couple of elements made to solve needs. It seeks to be a constant in the development of its inhabitants, in such a way that it transcends the different stages of life of its members. As a witness that prevails with its matter.
1. What was the brief?
Located in a highly dynamic environment, the project provides harmony to a young family with design that encourages flexibility in its purpose, remaining open for different needs that may arise in the future.
2. Whatwere the key challenges?
Create a conjunction of volumes with harmonic proportions and identify a regional architectural language that allows an atemporal project.
3. What material did you choose and why?
The Project may be summarized in the duality of two main materials that contrast each other in texture and hue. In one hand, handcrafted red bricks with an expressive rustic texture that changes during the different seasons, constantly changing in accordance with the weather. In other hand, polished mixed plaster (enjarre) that maintains a uniform tone that is preserved from time.
