#RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE PROJECTS

AJ House

This house meets the needs of a young couple with two sections separated by a central piece that sets the access from the outside and a comfortable, livable and functional space that suits their way of life.

This family home is located in the coastal town of Salinas. It stands between party walls and complies with the regulatory standards of a 192 square metres land plot.

Design constraints included: the rectangular shape of the plot; its east-west orientation; a neighbouring party wall on one side, and the wall of another dwelling located at a two-metre distance on the other; the impossibility of creating openings in the back wall.

The project is divided into two parts in consideration of the the clients’ needs: with the entrance hall acting as the central axis, the main volume is divided in two, which allows for a more efficient distribution of the rooms.

Consequently, the ground floor works as a space containing sections of the house meant for socializing, which are connected to the entrance. The service areas, are found in the basement. One of the volumes protrudes beyond the facade line in order to capture more sunlight in the living room and master bedroom.
