This house is located in the village of Alboraya, in the border area between the urban grid and a great extension of a vegetable and tiger nut garden.

BETWEEN MEDIANS

It is a house between medians located on the corner of a residential block and therefore enjoys the convenience of urban housing and at the same time, it has its broad views over the orchard that fades into the horizon.

SCULPTING THE VOLUME

To resolve this project it is proposed a clean and geometric surrounding, white and abstract to which, will be applied some perforations that generate the openings of the house. These subtractions reveal a wooden interior of great warmth that contrasts with the purity of the rest of the facade.

The splatters of wood marked the accesses, both the pedestrian and vehicular, the balconies of the kitchen and the living room and large terrace- vantage point that crown the housing. The rest of the gaps are closed with motorized planks of white krion on its outer face which when opened, show the interior of the wood.

REINTERPRETATION OF THE GARDEN DIVISION

The facade is the result of the combination of a few large white cloths of krion, some splayed arched of IROKO wood, and the slats, which, according to their position, texture and materiality varies. All these elements are arranged within a sealing system that binds the whole.

The divisions of the facades and the combination of materials and textures create a fixture that reminds of the typical subdivisions of the vegetable garden.

PERFORATIONS IN THE SURROUNDING

A hipped roof to reinforce the surrounding abstract of the house prolongs the nature of the facade. To the cover of the assembly is subtracted two volumes that make up the terrace and the patio.

THE VANTAGE POINT OF THE ORCHAD

It proposes a house closely linked to the landscape thanks to the creation of spaces intended for contemplation.

From the large window of the living room and from the terrace you get a panoramic view over the orchard that fades into the horizon.

BIMATERIAL

The nature of the project is characterized by its multi-colorism. On a white canvas are highlighted some areas of wood and dark stone that marked the subtractions that are applied to the volume.

NATURAL TONES

The light areas are materialized with white krion in the, a pavement of large format in a tone of sand and walls and ceilings painted in white. The dark areas are covered with panels of IROKO wood in walls, ceilings and cabinets and a dark brown stone on the pavement. The furniture is always coordinated with the tone of the space it occupies.
