Escobedo subdivides the building into two blocks, separated by an internal corridor that is the main access, from which the articulation between full and empty spaces is appreciated. Once inside the building, the main entrance access creates a patio or meeting area between the neighbors.
The proposal aims to reformulate the traditional idea of patio in grouped homes, establishing different degrees of interior privacy or ways of filtering the privacy of homes and their relationship with the public and private or domestic. The design allows the development of a typology in which houses overlap on two floors offering a re-reading of the patio with the help of different types of lattices.
The outer envelope, of the set named Tyrrhenian Sea, has been made with cream-colored concrete blocks that unifies the set, in which subtle variations in the texture, orientation and color of the material that composes it are appreciated.
The result is a compact and massive architecture, animated by infinite shadows and chiaroscuro, vibrant thanks to permeabilities.
