Loft El Campello – Cor & Associates

The beach of San Juan-Muchavista has become urban and cosmopolitan part of the Metropolitan Area of ??Alicante, where a large number of population has moved to live. This has been particularly important contribution in implementing the urban tram network (TRAM).

A daily walk in intense sequences of work, leisure and rest from the bustle of the picturesque old town, to the whimsy of the beach and urban and public space.

The previous housing distribution model corresponds to a second home, in a typical building of small dwellings for seasonal use by the sea, built in 1987.

The houses are barely inside the 50 m² + 8 m² terrace. The boom of this type of construction become clogged the coastline of Alicante in the 90′s and early this century.

The entire program takes place on a farm more or less thick perimeter, leaving an interior space reprogrammable. RGB fixtures, intelligent hygrothermal conditioning systems, programmable acoustic mattresses, surround sound system or focal, etc … are going to make this small loft a place rich in experience, in constant change.

The experiential atmosphere control is the big problem with this space. The use of the home is going to be torrential and rapid, almost like a base camp where shelter from the contemporary dynamics, in which their owners in constant socio-cultural exchange with the world to prepare to live and make their worlds.

The terrace and typological findings. Given the weather conditions in the area, we understand that the intelligent use of the property passes to deepen the concept of terrace, through the movable woodwork and floor heating-cooling air conditioning, transforming the entire house in an area open to the sea.

“Islands” and “polls.” The islands of zoning is given by the inclusion of the program and the adequacy of the general facilities of the building, allowing space to build a “fluid” where the route almost intuitive response to the use of the dwelling. Polls: objects make up our experiential memory. Clothes, books, food … take special importance because they create the landscape of home.
