Pitch House - Iñaqui Carnicero

The house is located in a small neighbourhood on the west boundaries of Madrid in a place called “los Peñascales”, that mean something as well as great stones. The plot is characterized to have a great slope oriented to the south and have two great granite rocks partially covered by moss. The structure of the house at a functional level as formal is explained perfectly in section. The underground level is used to solve the encounter with the slope of the land.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1ppvy2xg66mTs9cWdsNiG8wt3ES2MKJJtyIExzr8ZdZqNRDy94eXrxSe80tLv_YKsoJ1vdVNyYYio3AOsmYwrqXrj1cDT8CLs-/casa-penascales-2.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Pitch - Iñaqui Carnicero, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1ppvy2xg66mTs9cWdsNiG8wt3ES2MKJJtyIExzr8ZdZqNRDy94eXrxSe80tLv_YKsoJ1vdVNyYYio3AOsmYwrqXrj1cDT8CLs-/casa-penascales-2.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a> </div><br />It incorporates two granite rocks, one of them structurally and other as an articulation that makes the main access to the house. The ceiling of the underground level generates the white floor made of calcareus stone that constitutes the noble plane where the daily life is developed. A single space opened to the south only close by glass that disappears to incorporate the water plane of the swimming pool in a first plane and the mount named “el pardo” in a second.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pfD4DgeMlMQ9Nxkci1WsTUyrBtcvQ9zD7sRLU9nRPypq3NbmsWPRY7CcZqt8nuS6N-xzOBwiZmQd5r9ctk2Q-s8029tasTqu5/casa-penascales-noche.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Pitch - Iñaqui Carnicero, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pfD4DgeMlMQ9Nxkci1WsTUyrBtcvQ9zD7sRLU9nRPypq3NbmsWPRY7CcZqt8nuS6N-xzOBwiZmQd5r9ctk2Q-s8029tasTqu5/casa-penascales-noche.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pL0N3w2p3FQ6LnnpeqD92_0UIz9rQ-NYuuBD7CxPzoTuR4OBagqQLKnwhUre0to2J-tHRA-Y9xs5c6GUrCLQDIx5i42CsDxmw/pe--ascales11.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Pitch - Iñaqui Carnicero, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pL0N3w2p3FQ6LnnpeqD92_0UIz9rQ-NYuuBD7CxPzoTuR4OBagqQLKnwhUre0to2J-tHRA-Y9xs5c6GUrCLQDIx5i42CsDxmw/pe--ascales11.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1plwTI8e4sJ0mZ8NzZ-AYqrDwgnFskkj2rkJ0t-mXBxmbBoO5-3kgRx_ZRGpuC77VSm9zDIFtWZcthTxLN4wOPwtQya8Q7R0rS/pe--ascales13.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Pitch - Iñaqui Carnicero, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1plwTI8e4sJ0mZ8NzZ-AYqrDwgnFskkj2rkJ0t-mXBxmbBoO5-3kgRx_ZRGpuC77VSm9zDIFtWZcthTxLN4wOPwtQya8Q7R0rS/pe--ascales13.jpg?psid=1" style="width: 600px;" /></a></div><br />This closure does not fit with the perimeter of the first floor but moves inside to generated two porches at the ends and a marquee on the front that allows the entrance of rays of the sun in winter and is protected of its impact during the warm months of summer.

Double House - Langarita Navarro Arquitectos

Moving their home to the outer limits of a small town in the province of Zaragoza is the wish of a newly married couple about to retire. Embodied in their decision lies the conviction that it is possible to both undergo a radical change and still enjoy the comforts of their previous life. To explore this dual situation a project has been designed which attempts to evade its usual position as a solution at the end of a process and to take positions as starting point or state previous to the development.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pO_nISr3u6TyRrROz4R_78fTAjFy1ulGk8Pt1s2uGXi-G9yl7WwSUs5byipvUvL2J4-KTWmzrUSoooFkPMHzPPaQ4mCqBEmc7/lna-casa-doble-11.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Doble - Langarita Navarro Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pO_nISr3u6TyRrROz4R_78fTAjFy1ulGk8Pt1s2uGXi-G9yl7WwSUs5byipvUvL2J4-KTWmzrUSoooFkPMHzPPaQ4mCqBEmc7/lna-casa-doble-11.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pm857kwuURsGFfTqT9-BN8RAOCZqWeVFsHxhAC-obtH-7SHtG7flD2upIdy9q_VS3rVcNw-sF9uMnFRSb_zn6Kbt5ATvhPkYu/casa-doble-langarita-navarro-1.png?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Doble - Langarita Navarro Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pm857kwuURsGFfTqT9-BN8RAOCZqWeVFsHxhAC-obtH-7SHtG7flD2upIdy9q_VS3rVcNw-sF9uMnFRSb_zn6Kbt5ATvhPkYu/casa-doble-langarita-navarro-1.png?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a></div><br /><div align="left">It is generally accepted that the difference between the rural and the urban worlds has to do with the proximity to certain centres and to the specific ways of life derived from them.

The conversations led to a duality of interests: on the one hand those regarding manageability, ways of use, organisation and representation associated to those of a conventional urban flat; and on the other hand, the search for an uninhibited, light-hearted and active life, linked to the outdoors and a move to a softened “wild life”.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pxw-_dPLHnYuVsCC8LjB7BiQOcK6GFrNmsmS448WoAjfF64uguy5cUmB0Gzr2F1xR2JJv9q720wVCQDDhSEkb3RbTD-SKepdT/Ina-casa-doble-0.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Doble - Langarita Navarro Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pxw-_dPLHnYuVsCC8LjB7BiQOcK6GFrNmsmS448WoAjfF64uguy5cUmB0Gzr2F1xR2JJv9q720wVCQDDhSEkb3RbTD-SKepdT/Ina-casa-doble-0.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pXpmG4jeCbsNmWIdMJKvVOOMTpCoRYJd75H_W59s-AoKKFMw9tDA13w6Qmbw1Yjonssg98GpadTIJWMZekHGJiD7aKYp8OV_E/lna-casa-doble-1.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Doble - Langarita Navarro Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pXpmG4jeCbsNmWIdMJKvVOOMTpCoRYJd75H_W59s-AoKKFMw9tDA13w6Qmbw1Yjonssg98GpadTIJWMZekHGJiD7aKYp8OV_E/lna-casa-doble-1.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a></div><br /><div align="left">The plot, with a gentle, northward slope overlooking a wide, cultivated valley, is within the boundaries of the mountain town of Algairén, devoted mainly to the production of wine and oil. The land is part of an olive grove, annexed to the perimeter of the village. The house is positioned on the north side along the length of the developable limit in order to gain a small garden and a vegetable patch to the south and have privacy from the street. The project has been developed using two parallel houses, elevated a storey above ground level to enjoy views of the valley and the olive trees.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pDEDB4KrVWqTb4dK5I0YySzYcK5cNqAMGzk1ASLMII4cn9zOKRdNAKH1evzzAVuLVDcuguu69RRHOmBPO4y57WB1w_9dN3h5J/lna-casa-doble-2.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Doble - Langarita Navarro Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pDEDB4KrVWqTb4dK5I0YySzYcK5cNqAMGzk1ASLMII4cn9zOKRdNAKH1evzzAVuLVDcuguu69RRHOmBPO4y57WB1w_9dN3h5J/lna-casa-doble-2.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pBIXlPj2dVlGcbSRZgUlwcjmpSoed-ew3TfFwlf1u07AGFlRuPOfbdNUdAFF_W5da3V-VioxHApXPcYXsTyqZUPlfRoiaetv_/lna-casa-doble-3.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Doble - Langarita Navarro Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pBIXlPj2dVlGcbSRZgUlwcjmpSoed-ew3TfFwlf1u07AGFlRuPOfbdNUdAFF_W5da3V-VioxHApXPcYXsTyqZUPlfRoiaetv_/lna-casa-doble-3.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a></div><br /><div align="left">The first is a rectangular structure, conventional in construction with a narrow section, inheritor of the ideas of the modern movement where the nuclei of kitchen and bathroom areas separated the various living spaces thus always ensuring independence, dual orientation and cross ventilation.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1piJ2ou38LLnJa2-gS2YXmVBHoAWlrvQc87H9zXDuR-lGV-OaG4ubNAHUJM2g2wlz4COrubE_UK2ps5U07gavFllpV1lCTDokK/lna-casa-doble-4.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Doble - Langarita Navarro Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1piJ2ou38LLnJa2-gS2YXmVBHoAWlrvQc87H9zXDuR-lGV-OaG4ubNAHUJM2g2wlz4COrubE_UK2ps5U07gavFllpV1lCTDokK/lna-casa-doble-4.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a></div><br /><div align="left">Leaving the windows behind on the southern façade (as would an adolescent Gerald Durrel in search of adventure), the second home can be reached: an irregular geometric platform covered by a structural wooden shutter which folds to create different, unplanned areas connected directly to the bathrooms and kitchen self-contained functionality.</div><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pZT5CCbe9798bfs_V5NPoP9kcDg6aAGsKxUE3ddf2008Lfx6m7GijqFFITHtD8o53qKe1DFVII2_IPyEMcNZ8vR7Y4k0MbyWy/lna-casa-doble-6.jpg?psid=1" target="_blank"><img alt="Casa Doble - Langarita Navarro Arquitectos, Arquitectura, diseño, casas" border="0" src="http://uq48sw.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pZT5CCbe9798bfs_V5NPoP9kcDg6aAGsKxUE3ddf2008Lfx6m7GijqFFITHtD8o53qKe1DFVII2_IPyEMcNZ8vR7Y4k0MbyWy/lna-casa-doble-6.jpg?psid=1" style="cursor: hand; width: 600px;" /></a></div><br /><div align="left">The two structures achieve specific characteristics and are geared to use and optimise the house’s resources.
