House Renovation in Calabria Street by AMOO

The house is found on the next flooring of a developing constructed in 1950 in the Eixample’s Nova Esquerra community, Barcelona. The making has 4 doors for every landing and is applied for discounted middle-course housing, as explained by the architect F.J. Barba Corsini in the report of the municipal functions file.

The construction of the household is manufactured of load-bearing walls, with 6 openings parallel to the street, together with the 4 façades: the two principal ones and the two belonging to the interior courtyards. The flooring are divided into 2 by the central load-bearing wall, which is joined by a tiny installation. The household is accessed from a person stop and its major façade overlooks the inner courtyard of the block. It is composed of a residing-eating area, a kitchen area, two bedrooms, and a restroom, in a typical and crushed place. The total space is 47.59 m2.

The undertaking aims to reduce speculative distribution and, by getting rid of a person of its rooms, it will get to use the tiny central air flow patio as a central region all-around which to rotate.

A shoring is proposed in the load-bearing wall that supposed the circulation about the center, and the relaxation of the partitions are demolished. Integrating the load-bearing wall and the patio, the encompassing quantity of the bathroom is proposed, with a ongoing strip of kitchen area and cupboards on the partition reverse the entrance.

The technique which, as regular, is lower quick by the refusal of citizens to carry out any type of structural intervention, no issue how minimal, forces us to switch the task all over without having losing its essence. The inconvenience does not avert fixing the planned application, as very well as special features of the challenge: specially, to accommodate the owner’s selection of a lot more than 1,400 CDs and 1,200 vinyl information, which is why advertisement hoc integrated furniture is created.

On a materials and chromatic stage, the northeast orientation of the only exterior façade can make the choice of flooring towards a clear area that will allow reflecting the scarce incoming mild, though the color of the ceiling is applied as an aspect of warmth and convenience. This tone extends to the polygonal quantity of the toilet, softening its edges and contrasting it with a bluish tone that emerges within and extends to unique factors. Metallic things contrast and nuance the just about milky and heat environment of the dwelling.
