Living on one floor implies continuity, articulation, composition, and fragmentation of spaces without losing the unity of the whole. The project of this house works with the globality of the plot from its maximum use by its users.
The proposal aims to articulate a wide domestic program fragmenting the scale of the set both volumetrically and spatially. The composition of different volumes and geometries, together with the constant dialogue between materials, makes it possible to reduce and control the relationship between the parts of the project, both from their interior space and from their external perception.
The house fits the development of the program to its most favorable orientation, intentionally opening the house to the south and east, protecting itself from the sun of the west and offering a hermetic relationship on its north side where privacy from future neighbors could be compromised. The lighting and ventilation of the rooms on this north façade will be studied from the variable section of the complex itself, offering natural light and ventilation to each of the spaces of the house.
Materially, the house is proposed on the outside with a dialogue between a continuous white lime cladding and a ceramic canvas sized with 10×10 tiles that modulate its envelope and emphasize its geometry. The white tone, understood as neutral, allows the reddish tones of the ceramic and the different greens of the vegetation to balance and enhance each other.
