The project arose from the combination of the site conditions (a plot located in a residential fabric with houses between party walls, with existing constructions on just one side) and the program (a couple with two daughters who wanted two or three bedrooms plus multipurpose spaces). There was the additional challenge of working with a tight initial budget. Given these condition, along with the clients’ demand for multi-purpose spaces in the house, the required living area was pre-dimensioned: the result fell well below the maximum permitted floor area (approximately 150 m2, as opposed to 270 m2 possible according to the building code, excluding the attic).
