The house project located in Las Rosas features open views of the Guadarrama mountain range. The building's concept is based on a composition of five cylinders, which define the overall geometry and the project's intent for several different reasons.
Casa J, a project located in Gandia, on the Valencian coast of Spain, was conceived to balance the duality between being impactful and simultaneously welcoming, a common challenge in residential projects.
The design is marked by the composition of two intersecting prismatic volumes. The main volume is entirely covered with composite panels made of wood and polymer in earthy tones, while the secondary volume features a smooth white finish, serving as a point of contrast and visual relief.
The project, dated 2021 and with a total area of 379 m², involves several specialized suppliers. The internal carpentry was executed by Carpintería Pellicer, and the external lattice uses handmade ceramic. The kitchen was supplied by Chef, and the wooden framework of the facade is from Disegna — Bastone®.
For the facade, Saint Gobain Placo Ibérica SA was used with the Placotherm® Integra system, and the handles for the internal doors are from Noha, while the doors and mechanisms are the responsibility of Corpesa.
Casa Milagro, developed by RAVSTUDIO, was designed as a modern sanctuary situated atop a hill, where the architecture establishes an intimate connection with the surrounding natural environment. The concept aims to provide comfort and conviviality, balancing social areas and more private zones through three interconnected volumes that define the distinct functions of the residence.
The area designated for social activities is positioned in the center of the house, offering expansive panoramic views of the landscape. In contrast, the private sectors are arranged autonomously, ensuring a more discreet atmosphere. This arrangement deviates from the traditional linear layout, creating varied spaces between the volumes, which results in the formation of terraces, halls, and outdoor areas, enriching the spatial experience and lending depth and dynamism to the facades.
The choice of materials employs a fusion of traditional and modern construction methods, utilizing a hybrid system. Walls and foundations built with brick and stone dialogue with prefabricated roofs made of metal and wood. The prominent use of local stone and the mixed steel and wood structure add solidity and warmth to the complex. The interiors are characterized by the combination of natural textures and abundant natural light entry, enhanced by large openings, wooden and stone floors, in addition to carefully chosen furniture to maintain the house's link with the external scenery.
The outdoor spaces were meticulously planned with a succession of courtyards and reflecting pools. These elements welcome the visitor from their arrival and guide their paths, both inside and outside the building. Such components not only complement the architectural composition but also reinforce, at each stage of the journey, the intrinsic relationship between the architecture and the landscape.
