Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. CASA HERMI-La casa de las veintiuna ventanas in Sagunto, Spain by Estudio IGLOOJune 25th, 2018 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Estudio IGLOO The idea is to transform the archetypal and insubstantial housing scheme with a central patio and two facades into a more open and flexible one, based on the succession of spaces qualified by movement and light. The house will be inhabited by a single person, therefore, we apply the concept of simultaneity of use and spatial efficiency.  Image Courtesy © DAVID FRUTOS
 Image Courtesy © DAVID FRUTOS We intentionally chose to build it with small units, of identical geometry and three by three by three internal free meters that, by addition, create spaces of variable dimensions but with a controlled section. The units -nineteen in total- incorporate their own program, lighting -artificial and natural- and furniture, being able to function as individual elements or associated with others, and specializing in different domestic situations, mutable, if the use requires it.

The house zigzags creating dark but well-lit spaces, it hides and shows; it turns in a loop around a large central patio, to which its main romos are faced onto. There are also two small patios, for the secondary ones. The resulting spongy structure gives the volume a large amount of free space through which to perspire.

Our proposal delves into the ability of architecture to improve the conditions of context, to build the city, but also in the potential of the domestic space to change the mood, life.
