“ Along with the kitchen , a metallic pergola extends the usable space into an outdoor living area full of light and ventilation .
ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
The project is thought out by the resultant atmospheres created by the solids and voids and how they are dematerialized . This concept reveals itself in the way the ground floor is designed , outlined by the dissolution of the following coplanar longitudinal axes : the solid volume coated in slatted wood , the gap materialised by the presence of the projection of the upper floor and the almost immaterial space created by the double-height ceiling wrapped in a glass façade with the zenith lighting .
This void is created upon the lateral detachment of the upper bulk that provides the users with the perception of implicit temporality . Different solar light beams throughout the day transform the house ’ s internal spaces , and light and shadow contrast with the desired monotony achieved by the choice of restrained and desaturated materials .
