In a single housing development, surrounded by houses, we propose a piece that is closed to the outside by a permeable brick wall to open to the inside of the plot. The housing is arranged through a series of different courtyards that function as transitional elements between the different areas and skylights that create different lights depending on the uses.
A fluid path through the courtyards of each of the main areas of the house, qualify each of the main areas.
01_Landscape
A fluid path is created through the courtyards that in turn qualify each of the main areas of the house, and function as transitional elements providing each room with a different atmosphere, these landscapes are intensified by the changes of light from the different skylights.
02_Object
The house is formed by a one-story concrete fold. On the facade plane we create a variable skin of manual brick that is modified according to the needs of each area. A skin that is stretched until it disappears, introducing itself inside the house that is perforated, like an active and living skin. At the same time, skylights are created that allow us to introduce different types of lighting depending on the needs of each use.
03_Skin
This brick skin, with a very natural character, with a very special texture and permeable to inclement weather, provides privacy to certain rooms and gives them a pixelized light, as well as forming the skylights that allow light to enter. The brick also acts as a second skin that comforts and gives the house a more domestic atmosphere, more at home, as opposed to the robustness and hardness of the main concrete envelope.
