CASA UNIFAMILIAR RIVIERAS DE TIERRA GRATA

Idea projektu

The project consisted of a remodeling / expansion of a house of approx. 81 m2 located in the northwest of the city of Bogotá, Alamos Norte, which belongs to a closed residential complex. The houses are generated within the same architectural identity, which returns the same concept around it and allows all the properties to have the same characteristics, the proposal is oriented in the search for a new introspective identity.

Popis projektu

The design of the project started from respecting the original architecture of the house, maintaining the initial layout. The existing construction included social areas on the first level and a bathroom and two rooms on the second level, with the possibility of expansion on the third level. The project is the result of a deep study of the particular needs of the family, it maintains a respect for the concepts of serenity, silence, intimacy and amazement that has differentiated the way of living in these residential complexes of our city. It is a handling of spatial transitions illuminated by the rays of light that pass through the openings that make up the space. It is a cautious intervention of the pre-existing but daring to the contemporary.

Technické informácie

The house is organized around the main circulation, which due to its limited built area is located on one side of the floor, the staircase distributes to all the spaces on the upper floor, defining the scales and levels of occupation of each space. A new distribution was designed where on the ground floor are the patio, kitchen, social bathroom, and living room; upstairs, a study and two secondary bedrooms, redistributing the initial space, thus on the upper floor there is the main bedroom and the bathroom. We worked on the use in each of the spaces which have ventilation and lighting important points for the family, in the permanence of the house. The design was inspired by a timeless style in which most furniture was custom designed to take advantage of every minimum space. The light floors and stairs maintain the neutral characteristics, but when combined with the plywood of the furniture, they resulted in a bright and warm interior.
