Distinctive Architect Designed Homes By Carlos Prata

 

ref lot 292-296

"The combined living spaces are arranged into two separate and distinct areas - the day area to the East and the night area to the West . . . The day area comprises the dinning room and kitchen that are connected by sliding doors and the lounge. This area extends to the exterior, due South, through a covered space and also to the entrance courtyard, allowing via this space an interconnection of the day areas of the house, guaranteeing continual living between the interior and exterior spaces during good weather."

"Volumetrically the house is conceived as a pure prismatic volume, laid out horizontally along the length of the plot in the direction (East/West) whose lineal is briefly interrupted by the marking of the main access via a courtyard in the East."

Most important among these rules and vital for the originality of the resort, was that all rooftops should be covered in greenery and any walls should either be covered in greenery or else simply not exist at all.

With the highest standards of quality of life in mind, nothing was left to chance.
