Recent Changes

The first of the three modules has the entrance, a personal studio and a bedroom. On the second one we find the kitchen, the main room and a lounge. The third module has a living/dining room, a family room and 2 bedrooms. The project is made with inner courtyards on the first floor to bring enough light and air to the structure since it is located between 2 buildings. The house presents only a façade of 9 by 7 meters. Its distribution is from the bottom up and from the entrance to the bottom. The circulation it’s mainly at one side because of the narrowness of the house. The house is made of concrete walls and roof, wooden pergolas, banisters and window frames; glass windows in the façade and glass windows and doors in the inside.
As a conclusion the house is made to fulfill the basic needs of a family and it will be able to provide them with all the comfort of a big house not minding the space limitation. One of the things where we can see that is in the presence of courtyards which act like the gardens big houses have.

jhskjhkjhsdhjkdsThis is my project and it consists in a 3 modules structure suitable for 5 people. The main problem for its design was the spatial organization because of the narrowness and depth of the space and the block of light and airstream due its location.

Post and lintel is a very simple construction technique used almost since the begining of the mankind, that consist in a horizontal member (known as the lintel) supported by two vertical posts or columns at either end. This technique because of its basic position has 2 forces acting upon the post and lintel system: Weight carrying compression at the joint between lintel and post, and tension.
The lintel or header is a horizontal beam used in the construction of buildings. It usually supports the masonry above the window or door opening. Can be made of wood, stone, steel or reinforce concrete.
are still standingstanding.
In conclusion we can say that this is the oldest construction system used for doors and windows and as basic as it sounds (like putting a horizontal stone on top of 2 vertical ones) it's still been used in modern structures, of course with a very considerable technology upgrade.
