two blocks

SM-arch created a house in relation with the verticality of the mountain and the sea horizon in the far distance to represent the generating element of the development of the volumes. The two tangent volumes, intended for the two housing units diverge thus suggesting a further exposure and enclosing a part of the garden more withdrawn and introvert, open solely to the sea. The Architects seeks a dialogue with the natural elements already swallowed up by the disorderly growth of the urban fringes. The two houses make a morphological unit, but differ in their typological characteristics: the bigger unit, hosting one family, is conceived according to the internal organization principle of the continuity of collective space and thus reduces the bedrooms to the minimum size meanwhile the smaller unit, designed for a couple of elderly, functions are organized according to tradition.
