The free-standing open floor plan organizes the arrangement of rooms in a circular structure around a central core containing a cellar, kitchen, bathroom with shower and electrical room.
Because the local climate has strong contrasts, with peaks of heat and cold, the layout allows for maximum protection of the courtyard from the wind.
In the long term, by combining intermediate and peripheral design elements, the number of existing and varying spaces, depending on the weather and seasons, such as gazebos, awnings, etc., can be increased..ย The top floor, in keeping with the principle of separating the daytime and nighttime portions of the home, features four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The bedrooms face south and east, while the bathrooms are open to the west. In addition to clearly functionally defined habitat areas, the house has intermediate and multipurpose spaces.
This is for when you want to create temporary spaces – laundry room, computer area, living room, music room with the ability to reorient them to new tasks depending on the time of day.
This adaptability is a response to the need to manage the balance of common and private living needs in a home.ย The design is simple. The house has a timber frame on a concrete base and a concrete slab on the top floor. The construction – prefabricated from modules.
The shell has gray tones with silver hues. Inside, for built-in cabinets, furniture and storage elements, panels of great uniformity are used without knots with an almost uniform light texture.Elsewhere, white drywall adds its color to the homeโs soft, brightly lit atmosphere.
Space heating is mainly provided by underfloor heating on the first and second floors. Heating is provided by a gas boiler and solar panels.ย The ventilation system consists of two branches, connected to an underground heat exchanger placed at a depth of between 2.00 2.50 meters to the north of the house.
