Excerpt: Campanario, designed by PPAA Pérez Palacios Arquitectos Asociados, is a family residence having a rectangular site; restrictions by developers had an important impact on the project’s placement which required front and back free space. The structural project and the program on plan were set to respect this condition, generating open space flow on the ground-floor plan and major view openings on the first-floor plan where all the bedrooms are located.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by Architect] Campanario is a family residence located in a housing development in the city of Querétaro. Having a rectangular site, restrictions by developers had an important impact on the project’s placement which required front and back free space.
These restrictions were taken as having a single green space where the house was to be located on top of, having a side-to-side condition. The structural project and the program on plan were set to respect this condition, generating open space flow on the ground-floor plan and major view openings on the first-floor plan where all the bedrooms are located. As privacy and light control was required, a second wooden skin covers the entire main façade, which contrasts with the bare concrete structure.
