From the architect. 3 houses.
House Gallarda, is a holiday that will probably end up becoming the residence of a young couple open to some outside social life. It is a house of ample dimensions in its public area and room-and-to be always connected to the outside: both terraced plot will be planted Pinos, where as the pool deck. Therefore, a life of simple acts proposed, without sacrificing the pleasure of the everyday: watering a plant, sit and read under a tree, lie in the shade of the porch or dive into the water under the heat wave. The Mediterranean architecture was always that simple white frame, sometimes invisible which man comes to happiness almost without realizing it.
Perky house are three houses.
C1. House Transparent. It is made of glass and is shaded. It is the place to be. He is participating live landscape and the sea. Cooked and eaten. This house extends to the pool deck; also to the garden. The house extends to the sea.
C2. The Hole House. It is a house of service. It is concrete and belongs to the Earth. She is buried and, literally, is a retaining wall slope.
C3. The White House. It is lime, opaque and air. It is close to heaven: there just sleeping and dreaming.
The Landscape.
No doubt: the landscape is more intense, when between us and him stands an object. Both the work of Richard Long (3) as the drawing of Mies Van der Rohe for the Resor House (4) impinge on that idea. For the artist, puts a thin frame on the grass in Ashton Park, Bristol; and places a stone circle further down. Its frame notes, highlights and celebrates the presence of the two trees and stones. With this work, Richard Long explains how this device reinforces the notion of landscape. For Mies, also supports four thin intensify the drawing shows the view.
House Gallarda not renounce the structure. Sincere sample; in the same way they did the builders of the Nike temple on the Acropolis (2) or Luigi Figini in its Italian home (1): in both cases the column presented as a success.
Topography
Perky house is situated on top of the plot, where the views of the Mediterranean Sea, the village of Las Negras and Cerro Black are sharper. Thus, the volume of the house is oriented on the one hand looking for the best views; and on the other, settling-in beside her eldest topography. Perky HOUSE gives an austere, effective and definitive answer to the “place”; and the programmatic client constraints.
Underground.
The house is heir to a tradition of Mediterranean houses: whitewashed volumes white, with windows either due to their small size or their retranqueo- are protected from direct radiation of the sun, avoiding the annoying greenhouse effect that occurs when the impinges on the glass surfaces. The Mediterranean tradition requires semi-buried houses, therefore fresh.
