HOUSE 011

Site
The plot is located in the Mira-sol district in Sant Cugat del Vallès, dominated by isolated houses with gardens.
A space of spaces or a house of houses, in the middle of a garden.
Every small pice turns into an interior courtyard and looks different towards the four sides of the plot. The volums that form the house are visually related through the patio. The dialoge with the garden is produced in a contained manner with punctual and limited openings.

PROGRAM
The size of each piece responds to the program:
The first, access, welcomes a space for reading and music and in its doublé height, the study. A second volum for the kitchen, dining room and living room. The third and fourth volums house the rooms.
All of them are connected through transitional spaces as walkways. From the inside, you look towards an exterior (the garden) and at the same time an interior that is a small landscape (the patio).

MATERIALITY
Dry construction system based on KLH wood structure and coating of aluminium –miniwave-. The deep wooden windows furnish the interior.
