House GP
The clients for this project were in the dilemma of choosing between two architects, after much deliberation, they asked for a collaboration between both of them therefore they agreed.
The design process was easy in all stages. The clients had the desire of creating a practical house that inspired freedom, transparency and comfort. This led to the idea of a “one level” house surrounded by all the vast vegetation that the terrain offered.
The distribution develops in two wings strongly linked to the garden. The first wing features all the social areas; the second wing features the main bedroom, all located in the ground floor. The main bedroom is completely opened to the landscape of the house; the bathroom and walking closet where designed to work independently in the same space.
Due to the program of the house a second floor was proposed to accommodate the children’s bedroom maintaining the views towards the vegetation and keeping the “one level” atmosphere. All the bedrooms were designed as simple and functional resting areas in connection to a living room and studio, which helped as a distribution space between the different bedrooms.
At the main entrance the user is welcomed to a large binding space where the circulation, social areas and basement access converge.
The dining room and living room are connected to an exterior terrace and a swimming pool with views towards a lake and completely surrounded by a green landscape.The kitchen is the most important space in the house as it connects to all the interior and exterior spaces of the house, providing an easy access to each of them.
Due to different circumstances, the creative and collaborative process between the architects was ceased before finishing the house. After that AE Arquitectos was in charge of the project until the end.
