Single Family House | An imaginary house for Silence | Dellekamp Arquitectos
This project reflects an enduring interest in creating a space that is formed by a close relationship with nature, where one can live intimately in the natural world. The house emerges from the essence of the forest, where towering trees surround and protect the body, creating a magical environment of dappled light in the quiet solitude of nature. Visual axes penetrate the space, establishing direct contact with the exterior through openings in the volumes. The interchange between closed and open creates uninterrupted views of the pristine surroundings. The horizontal organization of the volumes makes it possible to form a concentrated space that creates a range of relationships to the outside by using shadow, shelter and varying heights. The program of the house is marked by the intimate spaces of the bedrooms, which are elevated, and an open living space with big openings.
The construction materials are also chosen in terms of simplicity while expressing qualities of purity and utility. Scroll at bottom of page from left to right.......more
