A house in the old quarter

The traditional architecture is looked upon with a modern view so the house blends into its historical surroundings but it is also related to our present time. The external façade adheres to the style, materials, colours and proportion between solid and void of the historic buildings around.

Interior world

The façade and party wall of the house are completed according to the alignment of façades, following the guidelines of the old quarter. The strategy used in the core of the house is not noticeable from the outside. An interior courtyard has been created as a private space where the house opens itself.

Warmth & Confort

The materials and the building system used in the construction of the house follow the traditional methods with a modern feeling. The resulting building keeps the warmth and comfort of a traditional town house. The perfect environment for a peaceful life.

Distribution by layers

The house is an L-shaped dwelling with three storeys. The ground floor is designed as a plinth opening to the street, containing the access and other traditional uses such as the wine cellar and the wood store.

The first and second floors contain the living spaces and open to the interior courtyard. The first floor contains the daytime rooms, so it is more open. The second floor contains the bedrooms and a solar lounge terrace.

Designing the views

The house has a hidden private façade opening to the inner courtyard. This façade is much more open and modern, it is orientated to the best direction, and frames and defines the intimate views over the courtyard.
