Architectural study of a corner house with a triangular floor plan, naturally shaped by the geometry of the street. By folding the volume, a sheltered patio emerges — a quiet green courtyard forming the heart of the house. Two wings arranged in a “V” open the interior to sunlight while maintaining privacy from the public space.
The study was developed in response to the client’s specific requirements, emphasizing privacy, natural light, and the efficient use of an atypical corner plot.
The layout unfolds linearly along the atrium. The building includes two units — a one-bedroom apartment on the corner with its own entrance, and a main two-storey family house with living spaces oriented toward the patio.
The house is defined by its light geometry — long horizontal lines and glazed surfaces framing the garden. A triangular lattice fence complements the architecture with a subtle graphic rhythm that filters views and provides shade for the vegetation. The greenery within the patio creates a balanced dialogue between architecture and nature.
CASA V combines introversion and openness, a rational layout, and an atmosphere of calm and light. The house is defined by its light geometry—long horizontal lines and glazed surfaces framing the garden. A triangular lattice fence, or gelosia, complements the architecture with a subtle graphic rhythm that filters views and provides shade for the vegetation.
At the client’s request, the gelosia was implemented as a delicate division between the patio and the car parking area. Crafted as a ventilated lattice wall, it ensures privacy while allowing light and air to pass through, creating a play of shadows that enriches the garden’s atmosphere. Beyond its aesthetic presence, it defines space without enclosure, maintaining visual permeability and a sense of calm continuity between the courtyard and the exterior.
