ArchShowcase Sumit Singhal
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 Riscos in Barrio de Nervión, Sevilla by Studio WetApril 14th, 2019 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Studio Wet Agustín and Pilar lived in an apartment on the first floor of a small building that had been built in phases. It started as a single story workshop followed by an upstairs apartment add-on with a small 2.5 x 2.5 m patio. After buying the workshop, their wish was to unify the levels into a single family home, using all possible gross surface area and extending it with a penthouse. Three architectural elements show up that go beyond the basic refurbishment: a new attic, a new stair connecting it with the rest of the building, and a patio that now extends to the ground floor.
We see our part in this project as being about concluding the building. We have taken the final steps of the process while creating a character that, without forgetting the building's previous phases, makes the entire building coherent. We make this obvious on the patio where vertical steel elements extend through the height of the building, unifying all floors, while the different levels are marked with different colours (cement grey, white and english green) of the same materials. The penthouse, all in english green, is covered with a cantilevered exposed concrete slab that finishes the structure, because we think that in some way buildings should tell that they are concluded.
