Team: Eva Gayolà / Albert Santaló / Carles Tuca Location: Sils, Girona, Spain Butget: ± 250 000 eur Roof final Solution
The project began with a ground floor plan provided by the client and the condition of a possible posterior construction of a mezzanine. Due to administrative restrictions we were able to build just a single storey house. A good control of the house’s height to dissemble the intentions of the client was a must. The challenge was to make the space under the roof as wide as possible while pretending the house to be as low as we could. A three different volume succession
follow the different functional divisions of the plan. Inside, spaces of different height are obtained and outside is expressed with different roof composition. Imperfect symmetry unifies the volumes keeping the same façade height in the entire perimeter. This fact added to a hipped-shaped roof gave the impression of a lower construction. Finally the client assumed the risk of a gabled roof in order to gain more for its mezzanine space.
