Casa Llor

This house is conceived from a simple premise: to protect and enclose itself with respect to neighbors and very close streets, opening east and south, to maximize sunlight, so the house is deployed on the plot forming 3 closed volumes (staircase, pantry and toilets) of organic forms, and instead raises the other two remaining facades much more permeable and Cartesian. This fact also translates into the structure. The main body of the house, a timber-framed box supported on a single pillar; the other three totems, on the other hand, of reinforced concrete, are attached to the main volume. This diversity of materials and construction systems is nothing more than a dialogue of contrasts: the hardness, opacity and roughness of the concrete volumes, to the whiteness, transparency and domesticity of wood and glass, the organicism of these bodies is used to create the entrance to the house, as well as to better let the light penetrate into the interior. The first floor is organized without the use of partitions, through a furniture that promotes the richness of circulations around it, as well as the multiple exits to the garden.
