The factors that drove the design were the size of the plot and its surroundings. The typology is a row house with an ample width (5.25 m, specifically) but the plot is not very deep. This means that the backyard, normally one of the highest quality spaces in a house of this kind, is quite small. Plus, it opens onto the interior of the block, which is densely built. The house is built with load-bearing walls and floor structures built from concrete joists and infill running in a single direction. The structures are visible and painted white. We want the ceilings and terraces to look rough, coarse and heavy. The staircase, in contrast, should be light. #architecture: Vallribera Arquitectes @vallriberaarquitectes #photography: José Hevia #JoseHevia #ArchDaily #architecturephotography #design #houses #residential #spain
