Interior Housing

Poetics of Space

Ubicada en un antiguo local comercial con acceso directo desde la calle, Lucas y Hernández Gil conciben esta vivienda como una mezcla entre la casa mediterránea —introvertida y asomada a un patio— y la casa fenomenológica descrita por Gaston Bachelard, un espacio regido por el poder de la imaginación. La eficacia funcional y climática de la primera convive con la capacidad de trascender la realidad de la segunda. Esto es posible gracias al protagonismo que se ha dado a la luz, introducida en el atrio a través de lucernarios, huecos e incluso un patio inglés ajardinado que funciona como una especie de oasis urbano, casi tropical, al que vuelca oníricamente todo el nivel inferior de la casa. Desde el punto de vista funcional, dado el amplio programa y el carácter lineal de la casa, el reto fue resolver todas las circulaciones entre las distintas partes y niveles. La solución consistió en concatenar una serie de atmósferas diferentes, cuyas cualidades particulares son el fruto de la conjugación libre de la geometría, la iluminación y el color. En la gama de acabados escogidos los tonos cálidos cohabitan con otras texturas más frías, que confieren un remarcado carácter industrial.

Occupying what used to be a store with direct access from the street, this dwelling is conceived as a mix between the Mediterranean house – introverted and spilling out onto a courtyard – and the phenomenological house as described by French philosopher Gaston Bachelard: a space governed by the power of imagination. The former’s functional and climatic efficiency thus combines with the latter’s capacity to transcend reality, and this is possible thanks to the importance given to sunlight, which shines into the atrium through skylights, windows, and even a light well that functions as a sort of urban oasis, almost tropical, onto which the entire lower level of the house flows, as in a dream. From a functional angle, and given the extensive program and the linear composition of the house, another challenge was to resolve the circulation between the elements and levels. The solution was to concatenate a series of different atmospheres whose particular qualities result from a free interaction of geometry, lighting, and color. In the interior spaces warm finishes are placed side by side with other colder textures that give the dwelling a more industrial character.
