Umbral

Housing development

The project pursues the creation of a home isolated from the noise of the street and facing a private garden, directly related to the ground floor of the house, so the family could develop their day-to-day life there.

To resolve the relationship between public and private, the project is designed in four main volumes: one facing the street that functions as a filter, and three more open ones facing the back garden.

This filter façade works together with the vegetation of the patios and terraces to achieve a calm atmosphere inside. Small reminiscences of the ceramic material used in the street volume also appear on the garden terraces, working as protection against sunlight.
