Project description by Arquitectura-G
This is a house behind an old façade that descends with split levels towards the back garden, where the house reveals its real size.
The levels are formed by slabs that cover the span between party walls so the house is fully open. The slabs are broken in the middle of the house dividing it in two parts and creating interior balconies where all circulations happen. This central area is crowned by a skylight that brings natural light to the whole.
The vegetation plays a fundamental role in the house as it runs through all areas, both interior and exterior, being present in all views.
Arquitectura-G is a studio of architecture founded in 2006 based in Barcelona, by Jonathan Arnabat, Jordi Ayala-Bril, Aitor Fuentes and Igor Urdampilleta, mainly dedicated to construction and teaching. They understand their work as a team, where individualities are dissolved in an addition of ways of doing. Material aspect is fundamental for the them, seing it as a field of research. Currently the office includes small projects and starts a new stage to approach larger projects.
In 2008 created ESCRITOS-G as learning tool and to improve the business, with the desire to create a critical discourse and trigger discussion about contemporary architecture. It is a serie of conversations about architecture held between members of ARCHITECTURE-G, the philosopher Ekhi Lopetegi and several young architects whose work has sparked interest in the profession, society and the media.
In 2011 launched INDOORS a section focused on reformulation and internal reorganization of urban housing adapted to living contemporary culture.
