Focal House
The “Focal House” project has been implemented in a quiet residential area. From the beginning, this project, was presented as a professional challenge, aiming to understand how it would conceptually integrate in a context with different typologies, but with common elements - small sizes, surrounding textures (red roofs) and modest courtyards.All these aspects were incentives for the creation of the house concept, which represented the choice of a new approach without disturbing the urban matrix of the space, a new reference point with elements of contemporary architecture. The contemporary approach to presentation and the choice of the highlighted color of the facade also contribute to the integration of this building in the environment where the presence of terracotta-colored roofs prevails. The simple volume of the house, with an elegant gesture at the eaves, forms a fused connection with the neighboring building and ensures the continuity of the urban form.

The irregular square is essentially solved by conceiving a service core in the form of a representative space located on two floors, where all communication spaces and sanitary nodes are located. The core was formed through a proportional reduction in size, which created a perimeter of living and leisure spaces with a favorable orientation and wide view. In this case, it was the investor who fully believed in the architectural concept, who dreamed of providing a functional and comfortable house for his family after almost 50 years of work and career, providing important contribution to people’s health. The same way the project of the individual apartment tried to help him and his family by offering them a dignified, happy and healthy life.
