CASA PS

The project consists in the total demolition of two one-storey builidings, placed into a building lot that is closed on three sides, and in the construction of a new three-storey building.
The design aims to reshape and restore an urban condition heavily altered by an inadequate stratification that has occurred through time, through a juxtaposition of differently shaped settings, re-establishing a new consonance with the pre-existing environment.
The structural design is organised through basic actions which, on the one hand, give shape and organize the house design, and, on the other, are tools of formal control which allow environmental sustainability and energetic efficiency.

  1. establishing the outline of the building lot as the result of the demolition
  2. fencing off of the private space from the urban neighbourhood.
  3. inclusion of a wall which separates the interior of the house from the external area.
  4. incorporating a patio as an internal light source and also a useful element to guarantee air circulation;
  5. installing the home volume which leans against the fence and stretches outside with the loggia.
  6. transforming the terrace on the top floor into a panoramic place. The planimetric distribution has been subdivided on three longitudinal strips: the living area located on the ground floor, is subdivided into the services block in the back: kitchen, bathroom, lightwell and staircase ; in the intermediate area, the living room and dining room, screened and directly communicating with the enclosured area, which gives a unique private dimension to the open space. Similarly, in the bedroom area, on the first floor, the area in the back is used for the services, whereas the three bedrooms face the street below, connected by an uninterrupted loggia, which guarantees shading.
