ファラが設計した、ポルトガル・ポルトの住宅「house within a few lines」です。
延床面積50㎡の幅の狭い住まいの計画です。建築家は、平面と断面への“数本の線”の介入を行い、“湾曲した壁”と“曲がりくねる天井”が交差する動的な空間を構築しました。また、簡潔なヴォリュームで内部の複雑なスペクタクルを“偽装”することも意図されました。
The geometry of a narrow house is settled within a few lines. The intervention happens both in plan projection and in section. Curved walls are intersected with sinuous ceiling resulting in a space that is not static. In the evening, multiple folds and creases create a bizarre game of light and shadow.
Open to the back garden, the living room unfolds between the two surfaces. Below, is a turquoise carpet of ceramic tiles, while above, a light green tent of vigorous ceiling—all concealed beneath a slender metal roof.
On the street front, the facade maintains an unassuming presence on the street. It looks like its neighbours but it also does not. It presents itself as a closed wall with a blue door and a small window. In contrast, the open back facade is an overlay of elements sitting within the whimsical garden: a large opening, accompanied by a concrete beam, a free standing blue column and a bright yellow shutter. Mirrors conceal chimneys and unwanted thicknesses, rendering the roof paper thin. Bold stripes of black marble frame both elevations.
The project presents a possibility for a multifarious house within a limited condition. The house is staged with a minimum set of elements—some are necessary, some are not—and a precise palette of materials. A concise volume is a disguise for a complex spectacle of its interior spaces.
