The large glazed openings, as well as window areas hidden behind the brick lattice, allow for interior privacy and filter both exterior light and interior light at night. The house is organized around a courtyard that becomes a second living area in summer, while the upper floors, set back, feature terraces that offer views of the neighborhood. In this way, the house negotiates each corner in relation to the surrounding blind walls on which it rests.

At the same time, the client’s desire for a house with an industrial look and a brick facade led to solutions focused on creating an identity built on reclaimed brick, metalwork, and thin-mullion joinery. Brick became the only exterior finish, covering both the facade and the courtyard, as well as the two terraces. The interior layout is functional, with minimal spaces resulting from the building’s configuration and limited surface areas. The main facade faces north, and the need for direct natural light throughout the day led to the creation of a skylight above the staircase, whose light reaches the basement through the transparency of the metal stairs on the three above-ground levels. The interior of the house seeks to enhance the light with bright colors, transparent partitions, and warm finishes.
