“Foundations of Architecture: Order, Eurythmy, Symmetry, Propriety, and Economy” Vitruvius

knack

These similar residences, which accommodate the needs of two related families, are developed in one building, as the composition’s aim was to create one consistent architectural entity. The program of each residence is organized in two morphological sections. The bigger volume accommodates the main and auxiliary uses, while the vertical circulation occurs through the smaller volume. The facades differentiate in order to take advantage of the view to the south that this area offers. Thus, the south façade is mostly transparent and hosts large balconies, whilst the north façade contrasts as a solid surface with smaller openings. At the same time the choice of stone as the main material aligns with the suburban character of the area, while the combination of contemporary building materials and clean geometries underlines the modern influences of the proposal.
