ファラが設計した、ポルトガル・マルコ デ カナヴェゼスの住宅「house for three generations」です。
小さな村の角地に建つ3世帯住宅です。建築家は、正方形平面の中に各世代ごとに異なる形の寝室を作り、残った“型破りな形”の空間を共通のリビングとして計画しました。また、天井の手前で止めた“柱”は活動の区切りとなり物理的統一性も示しています。
a column sits in the centre of the house.
the house sits in the centre of a world.
The house stands in a corner plot of a small Portuguese village, and is meant to house three generations. Each generation is assigned a bedroom, each bedroom has a different shape. The given shapes are apparently arbitrary yet extremely precise. The living space is the negative of the private areas and presents an unorthodox form. The relation between private and public programs induces an almost obscene domestic environment (in the theatric sense of the word). The house has a square plan and a pyramidal roof; its corners point at the cardinal directions. Along the four equally important elevations, one finds a continuous texture of grey concrete, painted concrete, large square windows, tiny round windows, small dots of marble adorning the pattern of the concrete shuttering. The metal chimney is ending the object, holding it together.
Like most houses, it is made of rooms, windows, door, floors and white walls. A column is added. All the wooden floors are laid in a centrifugal manner from it. Although nearly central, the column is not structurally necessary and, as such, doesn’t touch the ceiling. Incidentally, the column also acts as a punctuating device, marking the separation between different common activities, but also serving as a hint to the physical unity of the house, a concrete square in the middle of the world.
