Description
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 centre of a garden. Every small section faces inwards onto an inner courtyard
and looks different from the four sides of the plot. The
volumes that form the house are visually related through the patio. The dialogue
with the garden is produced in a contained manner with punctuated and
limited openings.
Programme
The size of each cube responds to a spatial programme: The
first cube, the access area, provides a welcoming space for reading and listening
to music, and, in its double height, the study. A
second volume is dedicated to the kitchen, dining room and living room. The
third and fourth volumes house the bedrooms. All
the rooms are connected by transitional spaces such as walkways. From the inside, you look out onto the exterior (the garden)
and, at the same time, onto an inner space that is a small landscape (the
patio).
Materiality
The project was developed using a dry construction system
based on KLH timber structures and aluminium coatings – MiniWave. The deep wooden windows are a key element of the interior decoration.
