FA07 NAVE-CASA-PATIO

FA07 NAVE-CASA-PATIO
by EnsaladaWorks

Three spaces that articulate amongst themselves.

A home saturated with memories is recovered where we find an overwhelming architectural potential and discover that the experimentation with space is possible.

First of all, we remove the superfluous in search of the structural and functional essence.

Corridors and passages are eliminated, served and servant spaces no longer exist, but rather a continuous and uninterrupted flow of actions and activities.
Divisions and fragments are reduced to the minimum and partitions are understood and designed as flexible planes that provide an opportunity to play with changes on opacity and transparency and generate a continuous space.

A Project that is articulated around three spaces that complement themselves within their function but they differ and are characteristic due to their materiality.

The Nave* will be a dynamic and flexible space of encounter, where a wide range of alternative activities could take place, and the constructive essence of the dwelling is revealed. The House* will be a protected and warm space where the user can modify the perception of the threshold and therefore contrast or blur the difference within the more private or public atmospheres. Finally, the Patio* will be a space for dreaming and evoking that provides air and freshness, making possible an alternative circulation, a playful experience.

Materials: Oak, steel, concrete and lots of color.
Concepts: Continuity, multiplicity and contrast.

Nos gustaba la casa
porque aparte de
espaciosa y antigua (hoy
que las casas antiguas
sucumben a la más
ventajosa liquidación de
sus materiales) guardaba
los recuerdos de
nuestros bisabuelos, el
abuelo paterno, nuestros
padres y toda la infancia.
