Casa 15 by AM-arqstudio. When you first meet a client, you start traveling through spaces that are not built yet. Even before the client understands what the project goals are, the distinct spaces start taking place, sometimes is a word, other times as a perception of how a material feels when touched, and others, how the light makes you feel. Every project is a unique relation between intentions and desires translated into what is expected to be the comfort, the pleasure, and the relaxing sensation to the house’s inhabitants.

The couple who owns the house had a clear intention about the social atmospheres. For them, everyone should be visible and part of the family, no matter if cooking, reading, or working from home. On the other hand, they wanted to be comfortable at night without feeling uneased by shadows and exterior movements. The normal division between social and private spaces became clearer than usual, thanks to these constraints.
This was the narrative that started building the mental walk-through gluing all the interior spaces. When arriving at the door, the guests still don’t understand how the interior spaces are created, since the volumes don’t let you look inside, so you will need to find your way in. Once the main door is opened, as you enter the gray hall, there is an expectancy about what it going to be seen next. The first rays of natural light are an invitation to the living room. The next steps reveal a high ceiling, which connects the upper floor through suspended stairs using the same wood as seen in the exterior of the house, and all the social and working atmospheres, including the exterior garden.
