2013 Project
A second residence in the urban center of a town in Valladolid, characterized, like almost all of them, by the fragmentation and irregularity of the existing plots and buildings.
A single facade to the street, of very small dimensions and an impossibly shaped lot, formed by stone walls.
The solution that was found was to introduce a patio of maximum possible dimensions, square in shape, in the center of the plot, so that all the housing is arranged around this patio.
The courtyard is inserted in such a way that it segregates the different rooms by its mere presence, without the need for partitions, doors or corridors. The courtyard whose glass facades allow to perceive the limits of the house, which are the dividing stone walls and that manage to deepen the spatial perception, achieving a larger house. The patio is understood as the most important room in the house, simply because it has no roof.
