HOUSE + LA CALERA

The house is born through the idea of ​​the integration of activities that are realized on it. Within the conceptual referents of Gaston Bachelard and his poetics of space which we studied to be able to adequately recreate through a brief phenomenological study of what the characters and intentions of generating each of the corners of the house could be.

main concept

The house was thought of as four characters that make up only one, these are:
1. The private, this is composed of the family’s living space and a space to share intimately with each other.
2. The social, where we find the sharing with the guests, the livingroom, the kitchen and the dining room which brings together all possible social activities.
3. The place of reception, which is taken as the ritual of arrival, is composed of a large open plaza and decorated by a natural element, garages and a reception is part of the composition of the entrance.
4. Finally we find the area of ​​personal pleasure, which is developed through the personal tastes of the individual, in this case a study, with a work area and a small showroom.

architectural program

Taking these spatial characters as a base, the architectural tool used to differentiate them was the cross, the cross poses a clear circulation through the house and creates four resulting spaces where each of these will take a previously mentioned character within this Generate intermediate points that cover the main activities such as libraries, services and public-private transitional places.

 • The first free space is posed as the entrance ritual.

• The second is social, which projects the best landscape by being on sloping ground…
 • The third space, the rooms, which is the most private area, develops completely related to the forest, emphasizing this relation house-nature, and of the house as a refuge.
