Size: 150 sqm|
Residential

This house built in the early 80s, was purchased by a young family who wanted it renovated to fit better with their requirements and lifestyle. The initial decision was to work with materials that will echo the original feel of the house in a contemporary manner. 
The ground level's floor is made of grey Terrazzo. Two concrete stairs create a division and lead to the living room, emphasizing the existing structural qualities and volumes. Thin Brass profiles are interlaced in the terrazzo and concrete, in order to create continuous lines from the kitchen to the backyard and across, from the staircase to the bright patio.
In the bedrooms floor, wood replaces the terrazzo, to soften and bring warmness to the rooms. Concrete and brass details reappear in the second floor, in different scales and variations, linking the materiality and textures of the house.
