The property, an antique Tuscan farm whose original nucleus dates back to 1712, lies near Casale Marittimo, a small town of the Alta Maremma, located 10 km inland from the sea. The challenge was to introduce and involve minimal and contemporary architectural elements in an environment rich in nature and tradition. The solution adopted to achieve this objective has been to maintain as much as possible the vernacular architecture of Maremma using local technologies and materials for the external envelope, juxtaposing minimal design and clean interiors. The help of local workers during the construction phase has been crucial for plugging the building in the landscape and environment context and to respect local architectural traditions. Act...

Casa Terra arises from the intercalation of parallel walls made of pigmented concrete that are perpendicular to its central circulation axis. The articulation between these components generates spaces while defining residential functions and creating patios that open to the main garden. The closure between the vertical (walls) and horizontal (slabs and floor) planes is made with large glass panels that dilute the visual boundaries between the house and the landscape. The route along the central circulation reveals a succession of openings and closures while offering constant visual contact with the exterior.   Design team and collaborators:Acoustic: Roberto Thompson Motta Air Conditioning: Argen Automation: Noise Cons...

With an exceptional location, between the sea and the mountains, the Alejandro Giménez Architects studio enters the reform and expansion of a villa from the 60s, which evokes that traditional Mediterranean architecture. Respect for what exists leads us to reproduce that set of roofs that the house presents, paying some attention to the flights and the handmade tiles that characterize them.We start from the idea of ​​unity, where the extension is integrated with the existing parts, generating an architecture with the same language. The reform generates open spaces on the ground floor, with large holes for the entry of light and a large terrace protected by a pergola with a more natural character. This pergola characterized by the wo... En savoir plus

Daytona is a housing complex on the beach made up of 4 independent residences that are integrated together and that are resolved with only a 30% occupancy footprint, freeing 70% of the land for the recovery of coastal flora and fauna.  The staggered design of its north facade allows to generate terraces that take advantage of the views of the sea, directing them towards the sunset or sunrise on each level. The program is resolved through two vertical blocks separated by an interior garden that guarantees cross ventilation and natural lighting to all interior spaces. The blocks are connected through the staircase, thus reducing the circulation corridors and maximizing the use of space.  The structural system is supported by two... En savoir plus

Located in Mérida's Yucatán Country Club, Casa Patio seeks to create a serene lifestyle that takes advantage of site conditions and is capable of responding passively to the local climate. The program is resolved in two floors to occupy only the southern half of the land, generating a large north patio shaded by a majestic existing Habin Tree, the protagonist of all views. On the ground floor and with stone walls in the region, the house closes towards the street to generate privacy and opens completely towards the patio to integrate the interior spaces through a pergola terrace that seeks to provoke exterior life in daily activities. On the upper floor and in lighter volumes are the private areas with openings that generat... En savoir plus

Slab House project came into existence in the suburbs of Poznań on one of many hills surrounding the city. It was not an easy task - architects from mode:lina™ had to inscribe the building’s form into all too steep hill’s slope. As it turned out, the solution was, unexpectedly, childishly easy - recreate LEGO, it’s idea and turn it into reality. Three storeys of the building were separated from one another with even slabs that resemble childrens’ favourite blocks’ construction panels. On the base floor there's a more technical part of the house, along with a garage. This level was covered with constructive slab, allowing for flexibility of upper level planning. The 1st floor has been divided into 5 cubi... En savoir plus

Located on a golf course of a suburban neighborhood of Buenos Aires.  It was built almost exclusively on concrete and glass.  From the street two solid and subtle concrete volumes hold a floating glass body.  Two different zones are located at both sides of the glass cube. One of them holds the basic home functions, and the other the complementary program. The central greenhouse brings the outside into the very core of the house, not only does it articulate the two main volumes, but also connects them in a vertical and horizontal manner using metal and transparent elements. By walking through the well-defined circulation of the house you get a perceptible aesthetic experience. Everything happens along this pathway.... En savoir plus

The project concerns the design and construction of an open space, with a bedroom in the attic and two bathrooms, all with particular attention to spatial material experimentation.The intent is to give the home a free environment consisting of a living area and kitchen, the fulcrum and key element of the design idea. Wooden elements of custom-made furniture have been studied that connote and emphasize every detail of the house. In particular, the snack top is made to measure in solid oak wood and satin stainless steel, while the island and the kitchen top are in MDF panels covered with eco-resin with induction cookers. The staircase, in reinforced concrete with prefabricated steps, rises like a sculptural element capable of connecting the... En savoir plus

La Maison est conçue comme un volume flottant sur la montagne, un espace de contemplation qui s'ouvre simultanément sur les vues et le jardin.   Le bâtiment s'intègre au paysage en réduisant sa présence à un simple volume de béton. Les autres éléments sont matérialisés par des pierres naturelles provenant du site, de cette façon, ils peuvent être lus comme s'ils sortaient de la terre.   L'interaction entre les différents volumes, crée un jardin proche et protégé des vents principaux de la zone. C'est à partir de ce jardin, où il est possible de profiter de l'environnement, qu'a ét&eac... En savoir plus

The plot features the extraordinary garden of an old house, the project explores a defragmentation of the programme by placing it along the strength of the immediate natural environment. The total volume demanded by programme requirements was disturbed, fragmented and then distributed alongside the garden. The volumes are connected through transitional spaces that frame views of the garden, encouraging the user to make pauses while moving through the house. A subtle and constant link between exterior and interior spaces, blurs the perception of spatial borders.   While the public spaces of the programme have direct relationship with the gardens, a sequence of spaces and level changes builds up varying degrees of intimacy.
