The nice modifications proposed by these 51 official housing raised by the architects of a sure research are intuited on the surface, however loved inside. Far from dazzling, the modifications supply coexistence choices: of neighborhood connection and disconnection. Of multiplication of home house in the neighborhood and relationship with town. Let’s see how they do.

Projectors describe their property, which is a part of the set Glòries Islandas a housing group. They, —clara Vidal Riera, Lucía Millet de Ferrater, Anna Llonch Sentís, Ivet Gasol Escuer, Carlota de Gispert Sampera, Marta Benedict Izquierdo and Franc Llonch Vilalta, all in the course of the thirties-won the primary prize of a contest, promoted by the municipal firm of the habitat of Barcelona (Imhab) to jot down an city enchancment plan of that group of that ensemble.

They additionally managed to develop one of many 4 volumes that make up this urbanism. And they did it by defending the collective to assist the home. That is what the facades of this, its first housing constructing, inform.

Green with double garnet aluminum carpentry on the facade and white wooden inside. On the surface, every part in these houses has a household air. It evokes, maybe with some nostalgia, to a close-by, peripheral and identified Barcelona. Inside, then again, of the vegetation to the run terraces, as a corrala, to entry the homes, the coated and shared cowl or the outlet to carry hidden garments, every part speaks of one other world. A world of care, flexibility and reinvention that in any respect refers back to the shortage and narrowness of so many social houses.

Beyond the retracted facade to rush views and solar, a broad, monumental and public passage, with banks, crops and a top of greater than fifteen meters, this apple crosses. Multiply the neighborhood, makes the permeable housing blocks. Trust town. That passage creates, on the identical time, a gap between two separate however united buildings. That feeling, individuality residing with the collective, is current in all buildings related via courtyards and thru terraces-peas that journey your complete perimeter. All these areas of coexistence with nature, solar and shadow, architects name them climatic shelters. And they do not lack purpose. Housing, then again, along with taking refuge, improve. That is its worth.

The exterior entry catwalks erase the barrier between the group and the house and, essential, are oriented to South, that’s: they provide to benefit from the solar many hours. Thus, these entry terraces are an intermediate house between inside and exterior, between domesticity and group. They can host eating rooms or banks. And they obtain it because of the turns, the corners and the potential of entry to them by way of home windows and doorways.

If the outside blurs limits, the inside is a de-housing home. What does this imply? That every consumer can resolve whether or not the areas are rooms, research or widespread areas with nice ease. The versatility is born from a central kneecap, rotated 45 levels, and to make the most of the locations of passage, making the house destined for halls nearly disappear. Thanks to those sources, in these flooring visuals are generated diagonally that increase the notion of house.

Beyond rethinking home and group life, the constructing has an vitality and environmental technique. All houses have soloamiento in summer season and cross air flow. Thus the concept of ​​stacking houses of the previous housing blocks undile. They care for individuals, contribute to town and generate a framework of closeness and confidence in neighborhood coexistence. And citizen.
