Textual content description supplied by the architects. There are processes of renewal and recomposition that type the directive construction of the event of this sustainable structure. The totalizing goal of the venture coexists always all through the work with the aim and conviction of enriching the (pre) current, in an effort to obtain a superior transformation.
The venture is developed on a nook plot of 850m2, in a semi-closed neighborhood of previous nation homes; which had an current two-story chalet-style home, from the late seventies, in use that wanted to be expanded and modified in its entirety. The shopper (typical household) urgently wanted a change. The home required enlarging the areas and volumes to utterly rework the standard of lifetime of all its members. The preliminary ideas of the venture had been realized along with the calls for, necessities, and goals of every of the group members. The foundational premise was that the brand new home ought to be capable to recycle as many supplies as potential from its current home. Designing in a fluid backwards and forwards with the longer term visitors, till the preliminary sketches are resolved for the venture and the definitive begin. Thus, CASA DOMINGA was born.
All through the course of the work, the roof trusses had been recovered (initially for use as new inverted trusses, in addition to 90% of all of the wooden from the development strategy of the concrete block), which was reused as inside cladding. The principle load-bearing masonry partitions had been preserved, the place the brand new higher ground slabs had been mounted and the weather that migrated from the first demolition had been reused as secondary profiles.
The idea of sustainability was a elementary half that ought to hyperlink the narrative of the brand new use and recycling in an amalgamation of elementary requests; a set of rainwater for major irrigation + north-facing photo voltaic panels to produce (led) lighting all through the home + shades to the north of the plot + a excessive restoration photo voltaic water heater + cross air flow in frequent areas + water tanks with their very own ecosystems. The demand was clear, the venture had to offer a bed room for every of its younger members (one in every of them with its personal toilet) and a separate (however shut) suite for the grownup couple. A recreation house SUM, residing room-dining room mixed by an underground wine cellar that integrates with the kitchen-dining room, an area for bodily exercise with a sauna, and a barbecue-fireplace space for giant household gatherings open air.
Profiting from the complete width of the location, the studio managed to resolve this system requested by the shoppers in an “L” morphology and format, organized by the boundaries of the prevailing home and the specificities of the plot and its boundaries. Putting the primary facade in direction of the inside of the plot, thus acquiring the very best orientation, visuals, and privateness with the general public road.
We created with the composition of its finishes a novel architectural character, CASA DOMINGA lives with the adjoining ecosystem and coexists day and night time with the encompassing panorama.
