The main challenge of this project was to create a house with space limitations that seemed to consist of only two rooms. However, by elongating, extending, and raising the main structure, it was possible to conceal three floors within it and create a pavilion-style house.
The box-like shape is softened with a thin floating concrete floor and a very thin roof above, connected by diagonal side walls. A vertical slit in the cube creates an internal courtyard that allows the entry of air and light, serving as the element that breaks the mass of the cube and softens its geometry. Iron shutters have been positioned along the western facade, creating a corridor between them and the outer walls, imparting lightness and airiness to the house. When the western sun enters the corridor, different shadow patterns appear on the walls.
The Armida metal recessed bookcase is a smart and minimalist furniture option to efficiently utilize space. The bookcase consists of metal shelves, made of steel; while the metal structure may appear thin, it is highly durable, designed to support the weight of books and objects without deformation. The design is clean and modern, with sharp, minimalist lines that harmoniously integrate with the surrounding environment. Custom-designed to fit perfectly into the available wall space, the bookcase creates an integrated look and optimizes space in the surrounding environment.
