28 HOUSINGS IN COURTYARD HOUSE
Housing, Sevilla, 2009
Placed in Alameda Sector, a 770m2 irregular plot distributed among diverse heights dividing, had an only front west-orientated and a depth between 30-40m. It was a catalogued building which first centreline (we named it stopper house) was mandatory to preserve.
The building, a Neighbors' Mixed Tenement House, had elements in common with the Historical and the Contemporary ones called, though it unfortunately lacks the great central court of the first one, or the representative court of the second one. The action proposes the building tipology clarification with a program of 28 housings,business premises and garage.
The existing party wall tracing and the widening after the stopper house allow us to define a great representative and community space, in which head-board has placed the stairs completely opened for the great court. Around this space community use galleries that lead to housings. In addition other four minor courts appear for the ventilation and lighting needs.
In ground floor are developed 1 and 2 bedrooms housings, with an unique loft space and a complete bath; and one apartment In the first floor, the scheme repeats itself appearing the stopper house’s housings, of 2 bedrooms, generating a well in its interior that serves both housings and the common zone of the low floor. Also In the second floor with stairs of access to an additional stay in touch with the private roof.
