The plot of this single-family dwelling lies in a peculiar position in the urban fabric and has an irregular shape \u2013 as it narrows at its geometric centre. In such instances, a conventional architectural organisation would result in a dwelling with a limited garden \u2013 both in terms of its size and in its relationship to the house. Conversely to this typical approach, the proposal articulates the house as a series of 4 independent yet interrelated volumes, which adhere \u2013 with alternating emphasis \u2013 to the plot\u2019s two dominant geometric traces.<\/p>\n
In this way, the extent of the dwelling\u2019s main open spaces \u2013 which consist of gardens on both levels, as well as a sizable covered-terrace at ground floor \u2013 is maximised, in conjunction to the intensification of the interrelation between interior and exterior spaces. Finally, by reversing the conventional architectural grounding \u2013 as the ground floor volumes are structured as permeable frames upon which two solid and heavy volumes rest (rather than lightening up as the building rises from the ground) \u2013 the dwelling achieves an interpenetration and coordination of its projected voids.<\/p>\n
