This project aims to reload the basics of traditional row housing in the context of a contemporary urban insertion. The proposal comes to fit the needs of a 3-member family that runs a small medical office. The formal and functional decisions taken during the design process were mostly conclusions of a preliminary study about the neighborhood.
The house is designed in a way to encourage further row housing development on the right side plot, whose layout is different and its street front was left unbuilt.
Therefore, the house I designed stretches from one end to the other along the front edge of the plot and the access is sheltered by a green articulation that works as a filter between public and private space.
On the left side of this articulation lays the main part of the residence (ground floor and 2nd floor), as well as the medical office (semi-basement). The second floor houses the main and the visitors’ bedroom.
The child’s room lays on the right side of the articulation (2nd floor) above the garage (ground floor), so that the “green filter” terrace provides a shady leisure space for all inhabitants/visitors.
