English description provided by the architects.
House N was born from a simple yet profound question: How do you design a home not for individuals, but for a family as a living and emotional whole?
This house is not about perfection, but about presence. A place for contemplation, shared rituals, and serene joy.
From the beginning, the family's intention was clear: to create a home that invites gathering and honors the beauty of the everyday.
At Crearq, we design not just a structure, but an atmosphere.
Two volumes orbit around a central courtyard: an intentional void that connects all spaces and allows nature to take center stage.
Each room opens up to this heart, where light, air, and memory flow freely.
The design follows the principle of "subtracting to add," valuing silence, shadow, and stillness.
The materials were key: stone, wood, and terracotta tiles were chosen to evoke the family's childhood memories in traditional countryside homes, reinterpreted with a contemporary and timeless language that respects their emotional resonance.
House N is not a showcase piece, but a tribute to shared life. A home designed not to impress, but to accompany.
A house of open spaces for gathering, where architecture embraces what truly matters.
