CS House
Sentmenat (Barcelona)
- 2002
This house is located in an area dotted with residential buildings. Building a house that creates an isolated world for its inhabitants requires a simple but determined execution. It has been necessary to make the most of the views by making use of the elevated position of the plot to protect it from the impact of adjacent buildings.
The folded “S” section floats above a cut in the ground with a "C" form that in its opening empties the site and leaves a hole above which the house is constructed. The access floor is in the basement floor and discovers the dynamic section of the house. The sides are opened and glazed so that the folding of the section is shown.
