Description

After we studied the possibility of rehabilitate the existing building we decided not to keep it due to the structure poor condition and we decided to build a new one. Once this decision has been made, the project tries to take full advantage of the freedom of a diaphanous plant and the optimization of natural light.

​

The program on the ground floor must satisfy three customer needs; access to housing, a space for a parking lot and a professional studio with multipurpose spaces. The first floor brings together the day use and works as a transparent space, with the stair core that acts as a light well. The second floor is more divided and is used for the night use program.

​

The main theme of the project is the optimization of the natural light coming from the rear façade -completely open to the inner courtyard- of the main facade.
