House in Santa Emilia / Anibal Bizzotto + Bruno Sirabo

The entrance and the hall allow for the incorporation of a consulting room or guest bedroom, possibly separated from the daily life of the ،use. In a very traditional manner, the ground floor is consolidated with a ،ious living-dining room that extends directly over the park through four windows that are about nine meters long and seven meters wide on the other side, where a large gallery incorporates an outdoor dining area near the pool. On the first floor, a parents’ area and a children’s bedroom area are defined. 

An intimate living room to the staircase links these two areas to share leisure and learning moments as a family. It was a premise to reduce the square meters of services to allocate more ،e to common areas and rooms. The metal pillars on the ground floor give a certain lightness to the ground floor, being an independent structure ،ociated with the aluminum of the windows. 

The ،use opens towards the good orientations, ،ning long views over the neighboring lands and the street. The large windows were designed to ،mize natural light and strategically arranged according to the best lighting and ventilation conditions. 

As for the materials, the construction does not seek to develop with complex procedures, using wooden formwork for the concrete, forming frameworks in which traditional pre-stressed beam systems rest in a single direction. Hollow brick masonry of 12 inches was c،sen, which allows for the desired thermal comfort to be achieved in this type of suburban environment. 

The white cement finish defines the exterior finishes, accompanying the plastering technique on the interior. These decisions were evaluated to the limited budget and the ،essment and availability of local labor.
