Architects: CRAFT Arquitectos The project arises from the idea of reusing existing spaces of a house built more than 40 years and generate a housing with these spaces independently for each family member with the constraint of preserving the essence of the building, trying to have the least number of changes and trying to protect original details which in turn must be integrated into the new project.One of the most important factors involved in the design, is the location of the property, which is located in a gazebo with continuous traffic and is the visual culmination of several avenues, this generates: excessive noise, very little privacy and air stream impacts directly on the main facade of the house. Moreover the project is facing south, what makes summer overheat.  Image Courtesy © CRAFT Arquitectos
This led to our primary need to cover the environmental factor, is create a transitional space between the private area and public areas, without losing connection between these and at the same time will diminish environmental factors. This was achieved with a double façade design to that used bronze glass Reflecta the enormous advantages that this represents, it helps to have a vision outward and in turn limit inward spaces giving privacy to in addition to the use of square-shaped openings that are offsetting the direct effect of the wind, allowing the circulation of the same without directly affecting the internal facade, helps filter over the sun which gives us a comfortable temperature. The outstanding feature of this design is to isolate outside noise and not lose the connection to the same, thanks to this design was created intermediate terraces, binds both contexts and is accessible only from private terraces.
