4 Houses LCC - Gaeta Springall Architects
On a singular ground that forms a steep ravine projecting a set of four houses.
The project is resolved from two towers containing two houses each to be accessed from zero, ascending or descending to the houses. As you progress through the set, beginning to realize the integration with the landscape and the houses are floating or below the access road.
The project aims to house just land on the ground, hence the structural design which has only four metal columns in each tower that achieve the effect of "floating houses" in the landscape.
The ground floor is completely free summand in the integration with the natural landscape and making a very special and accessibility to all the houses. In terms of language and skins are used pure forms using a very limited palette of materials, the facades are open to the best views frankly and controlled the openings to the child views.
