The Martinez y Soler Arquitectura studio designs three homes in Armilla, Granada. An area of urban extension in process of consolidation in which the grouping of three houses is proposed to consolidate a unitary building.
Martinez y Soler Arquitectura proposes the grouping of three single-family homes located in Armilla to define a compact and unitary construction adjusted to the limitations of the plot. It is granted an urban scale and the spaces of houses open to streets and courtyards. The houses are developed in height, placing in each level the different points of the program.

The project is built under the principles of rationality, simplicity and economy, taking into account the durability and cordiality of its spaces.
 

Description of project by Martinez y Soler Arquitectura

The project, located in an area of recent urban expansion in the process of consolidation, proposes a group of three single-family homes that define a compact single construction, which is adjusted to the exterior arrangements of the plot and frees the particular interior space of each house. This layout gives the building a precise urban scale and allows the spaces of the houses to be opened out both to the streets and to the inner courtyards, which are more protected and better oriented. 

The houses are vertically disposed, with different sections of the program on each level: the car park in the semi-basement whit spaces for installations and diverse uses; on the ground floor, the living and kitchen spaces open to the interior courtyard of the plot which are integrated as another space for use of the house. The most private rooms are arranged on a higher level. The last floor houses an open space designed in continuity with the outdoor terraces, which offer distant views of Granada and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The project has been built on principles of rationality, simplicity and economy, with constructive and material solutions attentive to the durability of the building and the cordiality of its spaces in a desire to create a friendly comfortable architecture for the lives of the people who are going to live there.
