Description
Singular villa that aims to escape the typology of isolated houses and with the clear objective of occupying the entire plot, the project colonizes the place through a series of manual brick walls built longitudinally. What is sought with this is to take into account what exists. Thus, systems are used that in turn define the rural environment with dry stone walls for the cultivation of vines and for the separation between crop fields. This arrangement encourages the relationship of the home with the public road and with the garden patios, avoiding uncomfortable relationships with nearby neighbors. ~The project tries to recover some of the architectural conditions of the traditional homes in the area. In this sense, all the materials used in the work are local: the bricks and the vaults come from the municipality's ceramic industry, while both the concrete structural elements and the rest of the materials that make up the house come from the neighboring Lleida. ~The walls are both structure and enclosure, forming the guidelines for domestic life to develop between them. The interior spaces are articulated around patios that offer lighting and ventilation at all times. The program is developed on a single floor, which defines the landscape adaptation and a better adaptation to the harsh interior climate of Catalonia. ~The construction systems are shown in all their reality. The walls are crowned with reinforced concrete girders on which the slabs rest. The placement system and the breaking up of the bricks allow both the subtraction of pieces like lattices, which filter light and offer privacy, and the addition of others that protrude from the wall, inviting future vegetation to take over certain parts of the wall. house promoting the relationship with nature and the landscape.~
