WEDGE HOUSE

The architecture at the service of the function

A small plot, almost square, nestled between three others already consolidated, with its access to the east side and one of its dividing sides facing south, serve as a starting point to arrange a white volume with its wedge-shaped edges, which sits displaced on a stone base, resulting from the intersection of both volumes a double height that connects both volumes.

It is that base of  stone that serves to house the day area and the main room that is located in its appendix. The entire outdoor space of the pool and terrace are treated as a single space and incorporated into the interior, establishing a total exterior-interior union.

The meeting point between the white volume and the stone volume is where the void that connects the upper part with the lower part is, and it is where the vertical circulations take place.
