Eriso House - Agraz Arquitectos
Named as a play on words based on the names of its inhabitants, the Eriso House is distinct from others due to a couple of circumstances. Initially, it was one of the first to be built in Agraz Arquitectos's second decade, clearly reflecting several of the firm's constants, including the eternal search for elements to enrich its architectural language. However, its greatest peculiarity is that it is almost completely surrounded by gardens and a street at 180 degrees, having only one boundary. In addition, the ground slopes downward, leaving the street below, thus favoring the rooms with their views of these gardens and making the passage of cars almost imperceptible.
Thus, attention is drawn to the facade, which overlooks a small lake embedded in a public garden within the subdivision, ensuring a peaceful view of the grounds. Therefore, the project contemplates directing the house's most relevant spaces toward that perspective, which, in terms of image and orientation, provides the best combination, and this is what defines the overall layout. Once again, vehicles are located in the basement, maintaining this philosophy of placing people above the automobile, and access via a ramp to the parking lot is at the level of the equipment and services.
Developed mostly on a single floor—a feature that also sets it apart from the firm's other projects—the living room, dining room, terrace, master bedroom, and even the kitchen overlook this landscaped area with its artificial lake.
A small hallway serves as a central core, protecting privacy and serving as a boundary between public and private spaces. In the children's bedrooms, privacy is enhanced by the use of an anodized aluminum latticework, the work of artist Adrián Guerrero.
Meanwhile, the upper floor, reserved for two rooms, includes a study and a living room overlooking the same magnificent location mentioned above, which utilizes the ceiling of the dining room as a terrace. Also located there is a separate guest bedroom, separate from family life and offering panoramic views, its own laundry area.
The result is a piece unlike anything previously created thanks to the unique conditions of dispensing with boundaries and allowing the house to be built on a single floor.
For the garden design, which is so central in this case, Agraz Arquitectos invited Álvaro Morales to develop the landscape architecture, achieving remarkable results in the green areas and enriching the project as a whole.
