The spaces seem to pull apart with a sequence of pillars that support a long, narrow skylight, the opening introduces natural overhead light into the hallway and serves to emphasize even more the separation of this two worlds paying attention to directional axis of the house.
There is also a clear hierarchy in the size of the spaces to define the different uses. With ascending dimensions, are the studio, dining room, kitchen, and living room. On the other hand, a linear scheme without hierarchy characterizes the sequence of the space destined for rooms.
Description of project by Arquitectura-G
The house is located on a plot with a marked upward slope, with views and good sunlight in the upper part.
The project stands out for a marked division between the day and night areas, which is further accentuated by the construction system and the structure of each of them. The daytime area, more in contact with the ground, is defined by heavy, walled construction. On the other hand, the night area, elevated from the ground, is conceived with a light, dry construction, and a porticoed structure supported on the garage/basement.
The staggered plan of the day area defines uses without the need for compartmentalization, thus guaranteeing views from one end of the house to the other. There is also a clear hierarchy in the size of the spaces to define the different uses: study - dining room - kitchen - living room (from small to large). Instead, we find a linear and non-hierarchical scheme in the sequence of rooms. These always lead to the common area with large double-leaf doors and are raised above the concrete block body to seek better sunlight, thus guaranteeing a daytime use of these.
Through a horizontal plane of glass that defines a skylight, the meeting between the volume of the common area (white) and the volume of bedrooms/storage (red) is avoided, further differentiating these two worlds. In turn, this skylight allows light to enter the circulation corridor. This cut marks an axis in the house that is accentuated by the sequence of pillars, which reveal the weight of the roof garden and are repeated to the outside of the house, merging with the landscape.
