Double height terraces

 

In each house, the day area (living room, dining room and kitchen) extends into a double-height terrace. Each house has two corner setbacks, one forms its terrace and the other is a void so that the house on the lower floor has its double-height terrace. And a lot of sky.

Optional enclosure

 

The enclosure of the terrace, which turns it into a gallery, is a bioclimatic value added to the proposal. The open terrace works as an outdoor space for the house.

 

Double aspect homes

 

All the houses are double aspect, with orientation SE and NO. In each house, the day area (living room, dining room and kitchen) is double aspect itself, looking simultaneously at both facades, at sunrise and sunset.

Heat accumulating bioclimatic enclosure

 

It is proposed to recover the traditional gallery system as a heat exchange space. The day area benefits from the air previously heated in this gallery when the outside temperature drops. The thermal inertia to accumulate all the heat received during the day is achieved thanks to a brick trombe wall.

 

SE facing rooms

 

In the case of homes intended for young people, a day area is opted for, with an integrated living room, dining room and kitchen, although slightly differentiated by their floor plan distribution and the relationship with the terraces. All the rooms, within the day area, are oriented to the sunniest façade (SE).

The new buildings will have nine apartments each, with one, two and three bedrooms, a room for common use and eighteen parking spaces. In addition, the plots will be urbanized. I
