A distinguishing feature of this house is its wonderful shelf that connects the living area to the dining-kitchen. Seven shelves completely run through the dividing wall showing almost uninterruptedly the backs of the large collection of the homeowner. Without any doubt, this owner could be deserved winner of our contest "Share your Shelfie". We have extended the deadline until June 6 to send your photo and enter the raffle for one of the books of the publishing house Taschen. Do not worry if your shelf is not like this project, but use your imagination and participate, it is very simple.
Description of the proyject by Gradolí&Sanz
Benimaclet was a village garden, an island in a sea of fields crisscrossed by irrigation ditches. With the growth of the city of Valencia the island was absorbed to become neighborhood, and inevitably, in anomaly within the urban fabric. And in this condition it resists increasingly gripped by the city.
Ricart house is built on a plot situated in the historic center of the neighborhood, and his vocation is to strengthen the typological characteristics of the traditional buildings where patios, even of small size, they become the center of the house.
This house is arranged around two courtyards: the first, in the transition between living room and kitchen, is open to the sun and contains an olive tree, the second with a more private, is a protected and vegetation shaded yard.
