Casa Edu Project
- Building year: 2008
- Works: New Construction
- Location: Punta Umbría, Huelva
We enter the construction of two townhouses in Punta Umbría, Huelva. Two new houses that want to preserve the Mediterranean roots of the place. Housing with bright and spacious spaces thanks to the game of heights that occurs inside.
The idea is to play with the volumes to introduce lights and shadows in the interior. Taking advantage of this set of volumes, the pool is arranged in such a way that it seems to enter the house. Thanks to a large hole in front of the pool, it is possible to transport the reflections of the water within the house itself.
Through large windows in the double heights, an attempt is made to frame the sky as if it were a painting. The large windows manage to create spaces full of natural light and warmth, which are accompanied by the clay floor and the textured white walls.
