Architecture Design of Magnolia House

Description About The Project

Magnolia House by Nicola s& Nicolas + Caá Porá Arquitectura that implanted in a suburban context full of nature and away from the urban environment. Indeed, it’s a symbolic volumetric composition that represents each space of the house as a part, with its own specific characteristics, that relates to the environment and to the whole. The project proposes a single-family home in a very abstract way, in which the functionality of the spaces, their internal relationships. And the suburban context are extrapolated to generate a simple and straightforward architectural object, both in composition and materiality.

A surface area of 350m2 designed on a single floor, proposes to partition the program into five volumes. Hence, giving absolute independence to the particular activities that each room encompasses. The different heterogeneous volumes are interwoven with the landscape. Therefore, generate expansions and transparencies that turn the greenery of the context into part of the interior spaces.

Moreover, each room accommodates a specific activity that responds to different requirements. Such as level of privacy, room capacity, sunlight, ventilation, and interaction with the exterior and adjacent spaces. These results in the internal spaces being modified in height, width, and length. As well as in the type of internal coverings, to achieve the personality that corresponds to each one. In addition to this, each volume holds an opening. In the case of social areas, they visually interconnected through these openings. While private spaces have visual access to the outside.

The translucent bridges that connect the spaces, decorated with rusted steel sheets on the horizontal planes, play with a more organic palette and reinforce the overall horizontality.

The Magnolia House Gallery:

Text by the Architects: Magnolia House is an alternative response to the common housing enclave. It seeks to understand it from the perspective of a series of spaces that are inhabited by a family, rather than from the perspective of an architectural element. Implanted in a suburban context full of nature and away from the urban environment, it’s a symbolic volumetric composition that represents each space of the house as a part, with its own specific characteristics, that relates to the environment and to the whole.
