VIVIENDA UNIFAMILIAR “CASA DG” in Navarre, Spain by Iñigo Esparza ArquitectoFebruary 25th, 2014 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Iñigo Esparza Arquitecto The project consists on a family house in a residential area in the region of Pamplona, Navarra. The adjacent houses, constructed on divers materials and different design lines, motivated an initial approach based on the abstraction, with an outright definition of the volumes made in sandstone.

The ground floor element holds the main day-areas, a unified space merges the living-room, dining-room and kitchen with direct access to the porch and the garden. There is also an study and playing-room with views over the adjacent public garden. Towards the main facade, a stripe containing the service area, laundry and garage ensures the privacy of the house.

Finally the basement contains a multi-purpose space and the facilities room.

The fact that it faces the north, suggested to avoid opening big holes, ending up with an almost blind wall with small gaps. Contrary to the front side, the back facade facing South-West has large Windows and a porch, which allows views to the private garden and the pool.

The front part with no fence opened to the public street, constructed with boulders using some ideas of xeriscaping and the back part, more private and with a swimming-pool landscaped with local plants.
