A record of how abstract thought defies gravity to become the stage of life

Plus Ultra Single-Family House

Typology:

Single-family house between party walls

Area:

730,94 m²

Location:

Alicante, Spain

Status:

Completed (2022)

Budget:

€215,327.75

Context:

The project reclaims a narrow infill plot in the Carolinas neighborhood of Alicante, left over from a real estate development that was halted after the 2008 crisis. A narrow, deep plot becomes the site for a large house tailor-made for its owners: a painter and a performing-arts producer.

 

The architecture responds to unconventional needs, linking dwelling, creation and performance, adapting to both the owner’s artistic work and a furniture collection of special personal value, inherited from his father, a cabinetmaker.

Solution:

The house is organized as a sequence of domestic and creative spaces connected vertically. The ground floor is conceived as a large double-height space combining garage, performance and rehearsal areas, crossed by walkways that allow the scene to be observed from different viewpoints. Above it sits the painting studio, and on the upper levels the dwelling, articulated through fluid spaces, double heights and terraces opening onto the street and the interior courtyard.

 

The scale of the brief is balanced through a restrained material strategy based on traditional materials and raw finishes. The existing party walls are partially left untreated, incorporating their marks and irregularities as an almost pictorial texture that contrasts with the concrete and materials of the new construction. This logic also extends to the façade, finished in trencadís, reinterpreting a traditional technique through a contemporary language.

Architecture has always been a reflection of its time; our responsibility is to imagine, design and build the next one.

We believe in an architecture capable of anticipating new ways of living, investing and building, developing projects that go beyond the present to meet the needs of the future.
