If we did not know that this property is located in Barcelona’s Vallvidrera residential community, we could very easily contemplate that it is someplace on the Mediterranean coast, overlooking the sea. The Mediterranean truly feel is provided by the all-white, apparently roofless exterior, the geology and the slope of the terrain. In purchase to get a highest interior room, YLAB Architectos have conceived the residence as a compact 3 level volume. The multifaceted geometry of the residence starts from a cube whose each encounter has been divided into four surfaces. Then, like in a 3-dimensional building game, these aspects have been pushed and pulled in a selection of directions to give the final geometry of the residence. The orientation of the surfaces is not at all random, they aim on the a single hand to carry the most of all-natural light and city views, and on the other hand to create privacy for the owners. As the plot is very modest and positioned in a crowded neighborhood, privacy was one of the principal criteria in shaping the property. The upper surfaces of the cube have been pushed up to sort the roof. The actuality that the roof is treated the identical as the rest of the residence, in mat white, provides a superb unity to the architecture. Furthermore, the fixed windows and the white perforated aluminum shutters completely align with the facades, in a flawless geometry. The principal entrance is at the middle level, exactly where the room has been divided amongst a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and dining areas. The kitchen and dining places advantage from a double height ceiling, supported by a wood paneled wall. On the upper floor, beneath the ceiling and behind this paneled wall there are the master bedroom and bathroom. The semi-buried diminished level consists of utility spaces, the living space and an independent studio, each with direct entry from the backyard.
The pavements in multicolored slat – a widespread regional stone – adhere to the organic slopes of the terrain. The dimension of the stone is larger on the flatter surfaces and smaller sized and irregular on the steeper ones.
The perforated shutters let the light come in but safeguard the intimacy of the owners at the quite same time.
The floors, bathrooms and stairs are covered in light colored Capri stone, and the the inside walls are all white like the outside.
The only exception to white is made for the double height median wall, which is paneled with tinted elm wood. This construction is also utilised to conceal doors and kitchen cabinets.
The kitchen blocks are integrated as substantially as achievable, leaving only the hob, the sink and the worktop open. The tinted elm wood island has a double function as a breakfast counter.
The perforated Corten steel fence that protects the property on the decrease side of the plot matches the reddish shades of the pavement.
