The project consists of a two-family home inhabited by two siblings and their respective families on a beatiful site located in Alto Hatillo with unbeatable views of the Ávila and the valley of Caracas. The L-shaped layout of the house allows for continuos front towards the street while opening up towards the garden, which is the space that connects the two houses and allows both to enjoy the views of Caracas in equal parts. Each sector of the building has been identified based on the spatial experience that characterizes it. Pier House (Casa Muelle) being the one whose social areas establish a more intense relationship with the pool located to the north and the water feature on the south; Bridge house (Casa Puente), on the other hand, explores the connections between the volumes that make up hole building.

 

The aim of the proposal is to achieve a unified structure but at the same time provide different and significant spatial experiences in each of the parts.

One of the most particular aspects of the house is its hybrid structure (open-core steel profiles and clean-work concrete) which seeks to establish a balance between the large concrete planes and those of glass, giving the spaces a varied register of experiences and relationships with the environment.
