SINGLE FAMILY HOME

PUEBLA DE LA CALZADA , BADAJOZ

As mentioned in the "Alcornoque 79" single-family house project, the rapid territorial expansion in the town of Puebla de la Calzada has given rise to the early appearance of new neighborhoods full of houses, making this milestone a key element in take into account in the design of this project.

.

The next house will be a continuation on the path of the creation of a new neighborhood that, due to its location, stands on the front page when accessing the town, giving a special importance to take into account in the design of the House.

.

Thus, the building is conceived as a constructive and visual banner that guides the other buildings that manage to create a neighborhood and, therefore, activity. The house has a ground floor that houses daytime uses, where the living room, kitchen - dining room, bathrooms, office and bedroom follow one another with a certain permeability and are focused on a friendly patio that gives light and relief to the whole. On the upper floor, the night stays are created with the privacy that bedrooms and bathrooms require, all of them exterior and focused on experimentation of which as places of full rest and disconnection, since the peace and tranquility of the adjoining area lends itself thereto. All the spaces in the house, from the moment it is accessed, are participants in a route with sufficient permeability so that they are not segregated rooms, but rather belong to a set of spaces with ease and versatility.  

.

This route was the organizing axis in the design of the house, since from the moment it is accessed, a large double-height hall, bathed by natural light, both frontal from the patio and from above, allows us to generate a visible staircase that speaks and defends the permeability of the property, in addition to guiding us to the upper floor, where a distributor in flight with overhead light completely undoes the corridor effect and grants a friendly passage when accessing this floor.

.

The building - exterior patio connection is perceived in a very fluid way, where the possible exits from the living room and kitchen - dining room disembark on a generous porch protected with an exposed concrete flight focused on controlling the solar incidence. The patio is designed with total transparency because, despite housing a covered parking lot, the client is given a certain versatility to inhabit it and take possession of it in the way they prefer, because due to its size it is quite affordable for several options.

.

In short, the house is conceived as a large natural, versatile and permeable space, but with a powerful exterior presence that continues with the adjoining typological guidelines, respecting the formal building growth of the new neighborhood of the town.
