A contemporary house is projected, in the middle of the city; it has the privileges of the countryside. The House SV is distributed on three levels. On the ground floor, there are the common areas, living room, kitchen and dining room. On the basement floor is the service area with independent access from the ground floor. As well as the guest bedroom, a multipurpose room, bathrooms with access to the garden and the garage. On the upper floor, the children's bedrooms share the bathrooms, a library in the larger modules and a suite at the opposite end. The unity of the brick and its dimensions determine the size of the spaces and the modules of the metal frames that rest on top of the brick walls. This metallic grid modulates the project in an elastic way according to the needs and desired limits. It is a flexible systematization that gives an implicit order to the entire project. The spaces of the house are open to the outside. On the facade, the perpendicular walls and the planters cross the limits. The relationship between the interior and the external areas blurs the limits of the house. It is also reinforcing the relationship with the flight of the great cantilever on the southern facade. The external elements take part in the internal order of the project. Passive energy solutions are used. The spaces are oriented and the cantilever on the southern facade provides a shade that regulates the entry of the sun's rays in summer and allows direct thermal gain in winter. A continuous skylight on the top floor of the house supports the natural ventilation system, which is practicable and in summer uses thermal circulation. Thus the whole house has a good natural ventilation system. Also, it allows natural lighting throughout the entire floor. This skylight is oriented so it does not receive the direct incidence of solar radiation. The house enclosures provide thermal insulation and the installed air conditioning equipment is efficient.
