La Vivienda, Localizada dentro del reparto privado de Barcelona de Indias a unos 20 minutos de la ciudad de Cartagena, se implanta de forma poco convencional en el lote. La piscina y el patio, que normalmente se encuentran localizados detrΓ‘s de la volumetrΓa de la vivienda, se proyectaron segΓΊn los requerimientos del cliente en la parte frontal del predio logrando con este gesto generar vistas interesantes desde las habitaciones (que antes no ofrecΓa el lote) y al mismo tiempo separar los espacios de descanso del ruido de la vΓa a travΓ©s de una gran zona verde que actΓΊa como βbufferβ.
El volumen de la segunda planta, posado de forma sutil sobre el volumen rectangular de acceso a la vivienda, gira buscando las vistas hacia el espacio verde frontal y a su vez se protege, de una forma elegante, del registro visual que existe por la cercanΓa con la casa vecina.
The house, located within the private development of Barcelona de Indias about 20 minutes from the city of Cartagena, is unconventionally implanted on the lot. The pool and patio, which are typically located behind the volume of the house, were designed according to the client's requirements at the front of the property, achieving the creation of interesting views from the bedrooms (which were not previously offered by the lot) and at the same time separating the rest areas from the noise of the road through a large green area acting as a buffer.
The volume of the second floor, subtly positioned on the rectangular volume of the house's entrance, rotates seeking views towards the frontal green space while elegantly protecting itself from the visual register due to the proximity of the neighboring house.
