Housing Complex La Alfonsina
In a lot of small dimensions, three houses were to be built with the premise that they would need to be adapted to their surroundings;a residence neighbourhood of single family homes.
To this end,three independent and separate blocks were generated, unified at ground level through a continuous enclosure that allows homogenizing the set. Above the top floor, three different morphologies were expressed, fitting the language and characteristics of the neighbourhoodand reinforcing the idea of autonomous units.
The sidewalk expansion together with the dematerialization of the street corner allowedfor an adaptation of the entire construction to its surroundings in a smooth and progressive manner. A particular architecture was procured, which invites to be travelled,integrating itself into the city and its people.
A key point on which to base the project was to generate a feeling of as much emptiness as possible;to this end,metal gazebos,withminimum supportslike simple hanging fabrics,were used in a mixed parking and expansionzone, freeing up space and reinforcing the idea of separate units.
The functional diagram of each unit is composed of a service area located longitudinally to the house on a lateral; at ground floor said areais composed of a kitchen, guest bathroom and staircase and upstairs with a hallway and master bathroom.The social area on the ground floor corresponds with the bedrooms´ floor.
