Terraced houses

| Fabio Balcaici | blog-en

The houses are arranged following strips according to the surfaces allowed by the regulations, their situation is advanced or set back to avoid excessive linearity and the rigid order of the whole, allowing a spatial linkage, a messy game of incoming and outgoing that vitalize the shared space, at the same time that direct visuals between the neighbors are prevented.

Materials have been used that withstand the passage of time, such as stone and stoneware. The zinc of the roofs also solves the enclosures of the upper floors and where the seams provide a rhythm to the whole complex. On the closing fronts, a drawing is created that seeks to break with the flatness and simplicity of the front walls, emulating a false game of a non-existent void.
