JC&M House by ALT arquitectura

Taking advantage of the sloping ground, the house blends into its surroundings showing in plan from above, only a stretch of the façade is visible. Thus a one-storey dwelling is considered, which overturns all the spaces inside the plot. This appears a single facade is conceived as something ethereal, glass and fine stainless steel wire screens.

JC & M’s house was extremely complicated. Housing is a small area for many rooms and it had the handicap against a retaining wall, that is, only lights and ventilation for a facade. To avoid the effect hall, treated it as a fun and dynamic, which prevented the tube or effect of linear perspective. At every step, something happens again and that makes the experience of crossing is very pleasant.

The internal distribution is solved by a system of elements that seem to drift, as if they were to move themselves from one moment to another. The interior arrangement makes the rooms look bigger. The stainless steel reflects the nature and following a merger between the artificial and natural.
