The house scheme, designed for a just married couple, protect the living spaces from a low visual interest street at the front façade and dispose its night and day rooms facing a big courtyard. This courtyard separates the house 3.5 m from the plot dividing wall, all along its east orientation. This movement allows the existence of a small back garden in the ground floor and a long private terrace on the first floor.
The parallel configuration of the entrance from the street level introduces a different value on this type of houses, making it unique and special from the rest.
The hall, a semi-outside gardened courtyard with a stairs, drives to the terrace on the first floor. The landlords gain access to a dark wood decked floor that works as a “summer living room” and an extension of the first floor, where the living and dining room, the kitchen and a toilet are clearly set.

The second floor, or “night floor” contains two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sloping ceiling study-bedroom. On the ground floor is located the garage and a multi functional living room both spaces divided by a big wood sliding door. A sort of storage and auxiliary rooms of the house complete the program on the ground floor.
The different floors are connected by a stair which is crowned with a vertical and well–faced fanlight that fills with light the spaces placed away to the courtyard.

wow … cool clean concept – beautiful … stairs are functional but could be nicer ;) … like in pic four
I like this house a lot in plan as well as in section. The entrance at the streetlevel is very clever and it makes a great composition!
The groundfloor can optionally be used as an extra apartment.
If the buildingcost was actually 240.000… well done…
wow, real beauty
seeing that there is no front or back yard they really had to be creative, and they pulled it off
being a petrolhead i especially like that they didn’t hide the cars and you can have a clear view of them from the playroom
wow
FELICIDADES, ME ENCANTARÍA VIVIR AHÍ. MUY BIEN RESUELTA LA DISTRIBUCIÓN GENERAL.
nice house. This house is:
- 70% – XX 70-80 postmodernizm;
- 30% – these days architectural solutions.
excellent project. The house is fantastic!
with just small changes in the interior, this would be my dreamhouse… loved it!!!
Awesome what you can do with a lot of creativity, a small lot and a limited budget. Love this design, amazingly well executed and quite straightforward in approach. I agree with João, it’s a dream house.
As everybody has pointed, excellent project.
I would say though, that you can easily fit a service bedroom, a full bathroom plus the laundry room, in the current laundry/half bath area.
COngrats to the architects.
Hey, nice house, clear and beautiful idea…
Very nice project!
