The WOHA architecture studio directed by Antonio Maciá plans the extension of a single-family home in the municipality of Elche, in Alicante. A work both architectural and landscape with great sculptural significance.
The idea was born from the client's needs, to separate the bedroom from the rest of the original home by connecting it by a walkway. Therefore, the architect will play with the idea of transparency, vegetation to try to unite the whole project as a whole.

Antonio Maciá tries to fuse three fundamental aspects: the permeability, the rigid and the somatic character of his organic intervention. The bedroom is separated from both the original house and the floor, rising three meters, giving it an identity and a leading role about the rest of the house.
The whole is meant in two completely different pieces. The project achieves a heterogeneous character by raising the bedroom and making the vegetation signify the volume of the extension as a specifically sculptural piece.

Description of project by Antonio Maciá
The project is an extension of a single-family home. The starting point of the project is the client's needs: A room three meters high, separated from their usual home.
There is a bedroom supported by two sculptural pieces, an organic and rigid one, made of concrete lined with slatted wood and an exposed concrete staircase.
in order to endow with use this ground floor is closed with a materiality that provides it with the maximum possible transparency. It include the living room and kitchen.
This construction is connected to the current house through a walkway.
The whole complex is decorated with vegetation, existing both inside the house and outside, with the landscaped roof and the xeriscape of the plot itself.
