Martha Beatriz House Project: Renovation and expansion in a residence in the Historic Center of Cuenca

The Pamoja House, part of Project 51 A, was conceived from a practical observation, not from a traditional work request. The starting point was the fact that a family had exceeded the limits of their residence, both in terms of size and in their need to accommodate changes in their lifestyle habits.

Project Concept

This project was developed to meet the needs of a three-generation family located in Muhamma, in the state of Kerala. It proposes a new vision for domestic life, emphasizing the maintenance of spatial continuity, generous distribution of spaces, and daily interaction among residents.

Focus on Family Connection

Instead of merely increasing the physical dimension of the construction, the design of the Pamoja House aims to create environments that reinforce the bonds between different family members while ensuring the preservation of each individual's privacy.

The Casa Elementar project was presented by the design team. This house reinterprets the classic image of a country cottage, transforming it into a modern dwelling where architectural solutions are shaped by daily rituals, a creative approach, and a deep connection with nature.

Location and Concept

The architectural bureau YUMI Architekci developed this residence, located in a quiet, wooded area near Warsaw. The plot, surrounded by mature vegetation and a garden, allowed for the creation of a sanctuary from urban hustle while maintaining comfort for year-round living.

The Panoší Újezd Summer House was designed by architect Lenka Milerová.
