iDEA

Pocketed in the corner of a long property, L residence consists of a single permanent and monolithic element that arises from the proportions and limitations of the site.

The rest of the house is gently floating above the ground thanks to the structural support of the L shaped wall. This also allows the opening of the other two facades of the 1 to 3 ratio rectangle. The configuration also grants the space freedom from the cover through a perimeter clerestory that makes the cover plane float as well as naturally flood the space with light…

A small palette of materials is chosen to accentuate the simple volumes that arrange the space. Concrete, terrazzo, steel, wood and glass in an effortless is more approach.
