Lupa House

Manuel de OraĆ” and Arcoche Mention Award 2018-2020

The original distribution of the excessively compartmentalized house did not respond to the requirements of its new owners, it was developed through a long corridor without ventilation and natural light.

The comprehensive rehabilitation proposal is based on generating flexible and open spaces that broaden the sensation of space and enhance light in the home.

The program includes a large day space where the living room, dining room and kitchen are located, this space is related to the exterior space through a permeable glass cube that enhances the views towards the mountain, in the night space They develop three suites equipped with storage and integrated bathroom. The master suite is built around a black marble cube that serves as a headboard, bathroom and dressing room.

The circulation area is structured around a large central piece of furniture that provides warmth and contrast to the intervention. This central piece of furniture includes, kitchen, library and storage. On the opposite side there is a storage band where a toilet, cleaning room and storage rooms are developed.

The use of neutral elements in the proposal contrasts with the use of exposed concrete in the structural elements and black in characteristic elements. On the other hand, the integrated lighting in coves and furniture elements add warmth to the intervention and play a fundamental role.
