ONE HOUSE, TWO BARBECUES
The house is arranged over a basement, ground floor, and first floor, with a large garden facing south and west. The open-plan basement houses the garage, while the upper floors organize family and social life around a central axis oriented towards the garden and the pool.
On the ground floor, the living areas – lounge, dining room, and kitchen – open to the outdoors through a porch that extends the house into the garden. This porch, with its integrated barbecue, creates a family gathering space that combines sun protection with a connection to the landscape. On the other side of the pool, a second open porch, with barbecue, sofas, and a long table, becomes the perfect setting for social gatherings, reinforcing the fireplace as the core of family life.
The first floor maintains the same bay structure, with a central open bay connecting the rooms visually and functionally to the exterior terrace. On the northwest side are the bathrooms, elevator, and master suite with dressing room and bathroom, while the southeast side houses the remaining bedrooms.
The reinforced concrete structure, with pillars and one-way slabs, allows the spaces to open centripetally towards the garden and porches, generating an architecture that embraces family and social life in contact with the outdoors, with fire as the focal point for gathering.
