Vivienda en el Cabañal

This time, we sneak in a home in El Cabañal, on the top floor of a building from the late seventies which is surrounded by pitched roofs and courtyards. Almost like an intruder, it is erected oblivious to the traditional construction methods of the district. There we find metal beams and pillars supporting slabs made of concrete joists and ceramic vaults. A classic from that era. Germán Cabo Germán Cabo In this little corner of the city, a young couple wish to bring light and joy into this changing space. With this purpose in mind, we embark on a project with an almost square layout. The windows are mainly oriented towards the south and the west, but also facing east and the sea.

Situated between a natural and an urbanised landscape, the shape closes to the north, extending the alignments of the surrounding buildings and protecting the housing block from the noise coming from the limits of the road. On the contrary, it opens to the south to approach the scale of the central park, allowing its extension within space, reducing the impact of the urban density planned for the site. The volume is distributed to generate attractive collective spaces based on three spatial concepts that correspond respectively to three different scales: a central patio for students; several garden terraces on a...

Cedar Housing

Located in Châtelaine's district in Geneva, Cedar Housing responds to a residential zone's upcoming densification. With projects for small buildings and commercial activities nearby, the area, now characterized by individual houses, is set to change. Cedar Housing is the first dwelling of its kind. It reenacts adjoining houses' typology to offer a gradual shift towards a denser urban plan.    Cedar Housing, as its name reveals, is centered on a centenary-old cedar. The tree tells of the history of the site and gives it stamina. It was fundamental to preserve and to highlight, which influenced the design of the building considerably. The layout follows the tree's vegetal belt in a semi-circular fashion. Curves show both in... More
