The volume is fragmented into three modules with pitched roofs containing – from the street inward– the garage and services spaces, a main area with the kitchen and living room, and the bedrooms.
Project description by Tangram
The plot is located in an urbanization on the outskirts of Zaragoza, in the municipality of Cadrete, and although the plot that defines it is orderly and logical, it collides with the infinite variety of building typologies, being the most varied result.
The proposal is the result of a deep analysis of the plot, a simple prism lengthened in a south-north direction together with a fantastic southeast orientation, protection from the strong prevailing wind (deer) which in turn facilitated cross ventilation, views towards the mountains that define the Huerva river valley and privacy. In turn, the proposed volume generates a studied access route, in which the large garden area is hidden until the interior of the house is accessed, where through the day area we contemplate it for the first time.
The plant is divided according to your privacy into three clearly differentiated areas. Firstly, the garage and services, a final element where the bedrooms are located. And finally the central piece, defined as a gap between the two, which is organized around a characteristic central piece of furniture.
The volume is defined by the folds of the roof that respond to each of the functional modules, highlighting the central element to house a small loft. The spaces for housing are defined by a light fir wood cover, differentiating it from the garage module, which is heavier with a concrete slab.
The house lives on the garden, where the naturalization of the boundaries of the plot is transferred in an abstract way to the main facade, whose vibrant shape is more kindly related to the surrounding environment.
The result is an attractive volume that changes from every point of view, however, this project and all its evolution have been possible only thanks to the good understanding between architect and property, the latter's ability to fully integrate into the development of the project by questioning each decision in a constructive way has made it possible to go much further with the project.
