[ Ferrolan LAB ] Family House in Barcelona

from  archdaily

상당히 불리한 대지 조건(전면:3.7m,깊이25)
을 효과적으로 풀어낸 프로젝트입니다. 크게 두개의 생활공간으로 나눈 후 그 두개의 공간의 중심에
자연적으로 빛과 공기가 유입 될 수 있도록 4개층을 오픈한 중정을 만들었습니다.
수직으로 분리된 생활공간은 각각의 독창적인 계단을 통하여서도 재미있게 구분되어 집니다.
요즘은 대형설계사무소가 만드는 거대한 규모의 건물보다는 이런 아기자기한 건물들에 더 눈이 가네요.

The house is situated in the heart of an old town district in Barcelona. The urban grid of the area is characterized by small, narrow and long plots.

This house is probably situated in one of the narrowest spaces around the neighborhood, as it measures only 3,7m wide. The plot is very long and connects two streets.

In addition, because of the pre-existing features, we decided to explore developing the house vertically, putting in different floors to meet the different needs of our project.

Therefore, the layout is distributed as follows:

At ground floor, a garage and a cinema. Then, in the mezzanine, there are two rooms connected by a living-study which opens to a patio garden.

The two facades have large openings, but are resolved differently.

In the south facade, the openings are resolved through adjustable horizontal slats to allow on one hand control over the entrance of sunlight, and on the other, the degree of privacy. The north-facing facade is solved with a wall of glass blocks of large dimensions that lets in light while maintaining an aura of privacy. The house opens to the outside in facades with only the intention of collecting light, hiding the rest of the residence inside to try to escape the direct contact with urban space and noise.

 As a result, the courtyard becomes the protagonist of the house. The link with the outside world becomes more direct and more immediate.
