ARQUITECTURA-G tried not so much to create a domestic space, (a wild animal that has learned to live with you but will never stop being one, and its instinct will remind you from time to time what of its real nature).
Description of project by ARQUITECTURA-G
The assignment consisted of transforming an old tailoring shop of 10×70m into a house for a single person. In addition to the usual requirements of a home, the needs program included a studio area and an artistic creation workshop.
Two main objectives have been pursued. On the one hand, to define a space of a comprehensible human scale in the context of a warehouse of great proportions. On the other hand, as a counterpoint, that at no time should the perception of being in a single space of a singular character be lost.
Thus, the project proposes a series of divisions of various kinds, which articulate the space according to the needs of the program without the use of any door. These independent objects -partitions that form right angles, a tiered sofa- never come into contact with the perimeter walls or ceiling, preserving the visual continuity of the original diaphanous space.
In addition, the perimeter in contact with the outside has been manipulated, displacing the carpentry line towards the interior. In this way, two large separating elements are created and bring inside the exterior natural air, light and vegetation; the triangular terrace and the small garden by the kitchen.
We have tried not so much to create a domestic space, but to tame it, as a wild animal that has learned to live with you but will never stop being one. You will enjoy its presence and its beauty, but its instinct will remind you from time to time what of its real nature.
