Description

The house is based on simple and beautiful architecture, a simplicity that highlights the beauty of architectural forms. 3 main materials were used as a base: the exterior gray finish, the interior white finish and wood to create a simple and functional architecture.

It was decided to work the house on 2 floors, this in order to separate the social areas from the private ones so that there would be greater privacy, in addition to having 2 floors, the views of both the front and rear gardens are better used and when working with two floors it was possible to obtain a double height in the social area room.

To get to the house it was decided to place 3 entrances 2 vehicular and one pedestrian, 2 vehicular accesses were placed in order to have a large one for several cars or visitors to enter and a smaller one only for a car that would be the one for use daily. For the parking lot, it was decided to use the masonry structure of the warehouse as a support for a wooden pergola that gives partial shade to the cars.

The path leading to the house is shaped like a parabola so that it is possible to place greenery on both sides of the front garden, as well as giving a better view of the house.

The ground floor is divided into the sauna area that is in the front where there is also an annex bathroom to be used together with the sauna, an outdoor hot tub and sun loungers, in the central or middle part is the area of services where the other bathroom, the laundry, the machine room and the cellar are located.

The last area is the double-height social area where the kitchen with a bar, the dining room and the living room are, for this it was decided to place bookcases and hanging lamps to complement the space, this space is connected to the outdoor social area that has a barbecue, bar and table through a large window with sliding doors. The social area can be reached through the house or through the exterior corridors.

For the floor it was decided to leave all the private areas, for this floor it begins with a loft that will serve as a study or as a guest room, it was decided that it be open since in this way the great view of the room is taken advantage of even more towards the back garden, after the study are the 2 bedrooms, the main room is larger and has an attached dressing room, however, both have a great view of the front garden.

On the m3 the 630 m3 allowed were respected and playing with these it was possible to obtain the social area with double height, and on the m2 the requested 150 m2 were also respected, which are distributed between both floors.
