The last house completed by the Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira was completed in the Mediterranean city of Castelldefels, a municipality in the Baix Llobregat region, located southwest of the suburban area of the city of Barcelona, and just twenty kilometres from its centre.
项目所在区域因5km长的沙滩、旅游区以及著名足球运动员居住地而闻名。回顾以往,该区域常被作为城市休闲区存在。GATEPAC建筑设计团队还在此区域设计有一系列的由可拆卸集装箱组成的休闲展览,名为"Ciutat de Repós i Vacances" (1931-1938)。
The area is known for its large beach, with almost five kilometres of sand and for being a tourist area and residence of well-known sportsmen linked to the Barcelona football club. Historically, the area has always been noted as a rest area in the big city, with interesting proposals such as the "Ciutat de Repós i Vacances" (1931-1938) formed by a series of demountable huts that was designed by the GATEPAC group of architects.
The house designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira in association with the Aresta a+u architectural studio is located on a plot with a steep slope. The project makes the most of its difficulties and organizes the program on four levels that look out to the sea and organize the different functions of the house, placing the access from the street on the upper floor from which one descends to reach the lower level where the pool is located.
The house with large terraces that expand the interior space, is characterized by the use of materials such as white marble indoors and outdoors, as well as the formal gestures that make the architecture of the Portuguese architect recognizable. The most characteristic image of the residence is provided by its construction with exposed concrete that uses a pink colour to facilitate its integration into the landscape, seeking to interfere as little as possible in its surroundings.
The project provides the garage and access plan on the street level, deploying three united levels through three lower plans in articulation by a vertical communication box (stairs and elevator): the -1 plan with kitchen, living and dining room, -2 plan with bedrooms and the -3 plan with the study room, bathroom/toilet and laundry room, at the same level as it is presents the swimming pool with a visual water strip.
A concrete plan that covers the garden exit all the distance since the kitchen sets the relation with the street – a platform that allows the access of inpiduals and cars and releases the garden from possible winding and steep ramps while respecting the existing vegetation.
露台成为室内空间的延伸,使用者能够在露台上尽情地欣赏美景。
Each house level offers a terrace that amplifies the interior space while relishing the landscape's natural beauty and the 180º view from East to West.
该项目对周围环境的破坏很少,并且自带海景视野。建筑体积感较强,这是因为建筑外观使用的是混凝土材质。
Ultimately, architecture answers the intention of disrupting the surroundings the minimum possible and of enjoying the landscape without construction changes. The forceful, emphatic and precise volume sets itself like the plot while counterpointing with exposed concrete.
