Modern House by Angel Verdasco

Two brothers share one plot in a suburban fabric blending old and new holiday homes townhouses. In this intermediate situation Households were hybridized showing as a single down the street, keeping a certain level, and as two to the backyard. Trying to put the rules in their favor, the front (forecourt) and the bottom are in common use, While group uses more private side – Parking, access, etc .- looking for a more intensive use of these spaces, usually waste.

The volume is determined by the maximum perimeter of the “footprint” irregular setback and a deck that loses height towards the rear garden. The whole plot is 500 m2 and each house has 70 m2 per floor. Each room can be oriented toward the ordinary or private.

A vacuum connects the south facade and the staircase, illuminating the interior and “stretching” the homes, resulting in bias perceptions. Thus, compared to small and opaque exterior, the interior takes on an unexpected dimension. A scaling sharp and kept secret. Thus a space that has actually been stolen from the garden, which belongs to the homes and that is clearly disproportionate, ends up defining and identifying the houses. The programs vary slightly, trying to find some medium-sized spaces allow changing the use and sharing rooms summer job for example.

The facades are drilled where necessary, the eye catching and freezing the movement of “look through”. The red is only the additional lighting of the pine trees there.
