ORIGINAL STATE

The house is located in Calella, coastal region of the Maresme of Catalonia.

The project is defined as a house with four floors in which it is necessary to connect the already existing area (kitchen, rooms and wet areas) with the west (common areas), completely undefined.

It is a building between dividing walls of a rhomboid plant whose access is on the east façade. In this there is already an active zone distributed vertically in the sector with the same orientation.

PROPOSAL

• The garage, or ground floor connects with the first floor by means of the staircase that gradually unites the different spaces.
  This first floor forms the dining room / living room that are differentiated and divided only by furniture. Both communicate with two small interior patios that provide light to all rooms in this area of the house. This area communicates this with the kitchen.
  
  
• The core of the project could be considered the second floor, which barely covers surface and is concentrated at one end, which is accessed by a walkway.
  This space is the private main studio. It connects with the outside by almost all its sides, creating in one of them a glass cubicle designed for rest and reading and communicates with the master suite.
  
  
  
• The third floor is conceived as the living area or study addressed to the children of the owners, which communicates with the rooms of the same. This space communi-cates with the outside through a small glass balcony that at the same time works as a cover in the cubicle of the first studio.
  

• For its part, the courtyards, in addition to fulfilling the unifying function, present different functions.
  The west patio is defined as a dry yard because it does not have vegetation. Its function is to convert the living room into one exteriorized in summer. Thanks to the use of four doors that are stored on one side, this patio allows a greater light input, as well as a double use.
  
  

     The north patio, located between the kitchen and
     the living room, gives natural light through the
     large windows to the dining room and creates an
     exterior corridor, aimed at making small meals.
 
     It is composed of a plant wall that covers the        
     entire front wall, as well as a raised wooden floor
     20cm floor, which delimits this use outside from
     that area of passage that connects directly the            living room with the kitchen, (without having to
     cross the dining room). This corridor is in coici-
     dence with the walkway of the second floor,
      which makes turn the cover function.
