House of Pipu and Marta / Menhir Arquitectura
Briefly

The article describes an innovative architectural project situated on a narrow lot, emphasizing a sectional approach that optimizes space through varying floor heights. The original structure's facade and load-bearing walls are preserved and enhanced, giving the new home character. A key design feature is the living room positioned in a garden overlooked by mulberry trees, enclosed with glass for connection to nature. The design incorporates a green roof for sustainability, with an emphasis on natural light and temperature control through thoughtful placement of windows and shading elements.
The project leverages the plot's generous 22-meter depth by employing a sectional design approach, creating spaces that transition from public to private based on height.
We emphasize the quality of the retained elements by dismantling and restoring them, allowing the materials' unique texture to contribute to the home's identity.
The innovative living room design integrates seamlessly with the garden, enclosed by a large glass wall and a one-way reinforced concrete slab, enhancing connectivity with nature.
The green roof adds to the sustainability and beauty of the home, offering private access from the main bedroom while promoting environmental consciousness.
