AssignmentThe rectangular sloped plot with a southern slope was part of a development project. A zoning decision has already been issued for the construction of a family house with a number of regulations.
The client's goal was the new construction of an economical family house for the permanent residence of a young family.
Architectural SolutionGiven the small scope of the layout brief, a single-storey, non-basement, rectangular composition was chosen, with the longer edge parallel to the northern boundary of the plot. The form of the building responds to the slope of the plot, with the southeast half of the building rising above the ground, above which it levitates. The roof's asymmetric composition highlights the cantilever of the lower structure on the eastern facade, while on the western entrance facade, the asymmetry of the roof balances the volume of the protruding garage.
Three contrasting compositional elements are incorporated into the atypical shape of the plastered rectangular prism. A wooden volume of the garage on the western facade, a breakthrough on the southern side of the prism at the terrace location, and a bay window of the bathroom on the eastern facade. The northern facade consists of a long masonry wall with small windows of utility rooms.
Layout SolutionThe longitudinal layout is divided into three zones. The entrance zone, with a vestibule, garage, study, hall, and bathroom, forms the western part of the building. The central zone of the living space, which includes a dining area, kitchen island, and living room, is complemented by an internal fireplace and an outdoor terrace at ground level. The living room and dining area feature open space up to the roofing structure, while the kitchen island is roofed. The eastern part of the building serves as a quiet zone with two bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom.
The attic is uninhabited and is accessible only via service stairs. Under the cantilever of the lower structure is a storage area for garden equipment.
