Housing Complex La Alfonsina | Andres Alonso Arquitecto

In a lot of small dimensions, three houses were to be built with the premise that they would need to be adapted to their surroundings;a residence neighbourhood of single family homes.

To this end,three independent and separate blocks were generated, unified at ground level through a continuous enclosure that allows homogenizing the set. Above the top floor, three different morphologies were expressed, fitting the language and characteristics of the neighbourhoodand reinforcing the idea of ​​autonomous units.

The sidewalk expansion together with the dematerialization of the street corner allowedfor an adaptation of the entire construction to its surroundings in a smooth and progressive manner. A particular architecture was procured, which invites to be travelled,integrating itself into the city and its people.

A key point on which to base the project was to generate a feeling of as much emptiness as possible;to this end,metal gazebos,withminimum supportslike simple hanging fabrics,were used in a mixed parking and expansionzone, freeing up space and reinforcing the idea of separate units.

The functional diagram of each unit is composed of a service area located longitudinally to the houseon a lateral; at ground floor said areais composed of a kitchen, guest bathroom and staircase and upstairs with a hallway and master bathroom.The social area on the ground floor corresponds with the bedrooms´ floor.
