Article source: hollegha arquitectos To make a building of 4.75m width and 13m length not look narrow might be impossible. Nevertheless, interiors were supposed to be spacious and generous. Time to rethink traditional systems! So we developed a façade concept that occupies only 18cm and offers perfect insulation for both cold and heat. Columns are visible in the interior. The relation between in and out is very much perceptible in the whole building. Due to its proportions, you may see the sun rise and set without leaving the room.  Image Courtesy © Pablo Casares

The topography of the site is used to separate the private (residential) and non-private (office) areas by designing two different accesses at different levels.  Image Courtesy © Pablo Casares Structural elements are displayed in the material they are made of, so the stairs connecting the three levels of the living area appear as a folded steel panel, and the rivets that hold the wooden façade elements create a visible geometric pattern. The whole building follows a grid of 90 (15-30-45-90) for all measures and distances. This system, appearing originally in traditional japanese architecture, builds the rhythm of architecture, comparable to times in music.
