ÁTICO EN PALMA DE MALLORCA
Este ático está situado en la azotea de una casa señorial del casco histórico de Palma de Mallorca. El típico patio de acceso de estas casas mallorquinas define la planta de la vivienda que gira alrededor de este patio al que da la espalda. El nuevo acceso a la vivienda, a través de un jardín de naranjos situado en la terraza, rompe con la tipología convencional de piso urbano. Una privilegiada terraza perimetral de 250 m2 se utiliza como extensión de la vivienda permitiendo que los dos usuarios de la casa, un soltero y un pastor alemán, convivan cómodamente. Las principales actividades que ocurren en el interior, territorio principal del soltero, tienen su reflejo en la terraza, morada principal del perro, permitiendo así que el perro conviva con su amo a lo largo del día desde la terraza. Por otro lado, la vivienda invade la terraza en algunos puntos (el lounge al atardecer, el comedor exterior, la barra de cócteles o la plataforma/spa exterior) así como la terraza irrumpe en la vivienda completando, en el pasillo de la casa, la pista exterior de 100 metros que pueden utilizar ambos residentes en sus ejercicios matutinos. En el interior, una colección de elementos móviles desdibuja los límites entre las estancias dando cabida a múltiples escenarios dentro de la vivienda.
