Description of the proyject by Gradolí&Sanz
Benimaclet was a village garden, an island in a sea of fields crisscrossed by irrigation ditches. With the growth of the city of Valencia the island was absorbed to become neighborhood, and inevitably, in anomaly within the urban fabric. And in this condition it resists increasingly gripped by the city.
Ricart house is built on a plot situated in the historic center of the neighborhood, and his vocation is to strengthen the typological characteristics of the traditional buildings where patios, even of small size, they become the center of the house.
This house is arranged around two courtyards: the first, in the transition between living room and kitchen, is open to the sun and contains an olive tree, the second with a more private, is a protected and vegetation shaded yard.
