House in Puntiró

The governing regulations for the plot play a decisive role: buildings are required to consist primarily of a main body with an essentially rectangular plan, a simple volumetric design, and a sloping roof finished with traditional ceramic tiles.

It adapts to the topography, unfolding across various levels that align with the natural profile of the land, establishing a strong connection with the outdoors.

The house comprises two independent private areas, each of which includes a master bedroom, an adjoining multipurpose room, and a bathroom, in addition to the standard shared spaces.

These areas are separated by shared spaces, organized along a diagonal axis oriented towards the views. This axis crosses the floor plan and ends in the living room.

Each master bedroom offers direct access from one of the courtyards, creating alternative itineraries that reinforce the intended independence of the private spaces.

Traditional construction solutions are used. The structure is resolved with load-bearing walls and one-way slabs while simultaneously creating the living spaces: load-bearing structure and living structure coincide.

This creates a ventilated and accessible air chamber through which the installations run. Regarding finishes, the load-bearing walls are rendered with lime mortar, while beams and slabs are left exposed, giving character to the interior space.

The building's energy performance is excellent; this is achieved by using natural, and local resources as well as efficient installations.

Courtyards are used as landscaped intermediate spaces. Rainwater is harvested. The roof is ventilated, and the structure, resolved with ceramic load-bearing walls, provides the building with high thermal inertia.
