EUROPAN 3: 32 social housing units - Competition
- Associated final project EUROPAN 3: 32 social housing units
Competition for 45 60 and 80sqm homes with parking.
- First Prize at the International Europan III Competition
The adjacent plot to the NII national highway was previously a campsite full of trees that we tried to preserve. The buildings have façades at the road and at the wooded area.
The houses cross from one to the other facade and their distribution responds to the passage from one space to the other. Between these two ends, the rooms and stairs open in the courtyard.
In the wooded area, the building and the street connect to three different levels: from the parking, through the building at ground floor level, and through a walkway at the first floor level.
The garden opens north to a more distant landscape formed by a hill that still preserves the remains of ancient crops.
