Article source: ALT arquitectura In a slope raises a two-story house with distinct entrances for each floor. The property is developed as a narrow longitudinal scheme to make the most of garden plot. The volume arises from the main street of the merger of the two branches of access and it develops as a concrete materialization in the first floor which rises to close the volume weightless cantilever.

This house is perhaps the most expressive I have done. We wanted that huge concrete surfaces were to fly over the ground, without giving too many clues of structural performance. We were looking for a non logical structure to provide spaces of something magical … The volume setting has been designed to deceive the intuitive structural sense tells us why things do not fall. Contemplating large and heavy volumes of concrete without knowing where they hold an odd and pleasant sensation. The heavy becomes light.

We used calibrated round20mm. The end result has a surprising rigidity. IPE200 beams that support the treads hanging, were bolted to the concrete by a plate dimension of the head of the beam. The space change with movement and with the variable interaction of sunlight, each moment and every single position in space.

Some are more three-dimensional, others are more bi-dimensional, and everything is woven by one-dimensional vertical rods of the ladder. The material that creates the main enclosure is concrete. What is not concrete, or fluted metal is polished stainless steel. The windows are aluminum finished steel. We selected a special profile of straight angles. My intention is that nature is reflected in the skin of the building, accentuating the flight of the large volume of concrete.
