24/06/2024
The project La Casa Sabater has been selected as a finalist for the ROOM Awards. This award highlights the excellence, originality and innovation of national projects and studies of architecture, interior design, design, craftsmanship and contemporary art.
In its latest edition, the ROOM Awards continue its tradition of recognizing creativity and sustainability in the field of architecture. The different categories include buildings, urban planning, landscaping, public spaces, interior design and products. The awards value not only the aesthetics and functionality of the projects, but also their impact on sustainability and their social contribution.
The Sabater House project arises from its implantation in the environment. The building is deployed through a very clear geometry, moving away from the concept of compact architecture. This strategy, together with the slender proportions of the construction, increases the perimeter of contact between the house and the exterior, generating a system of courtyards that seems to have no limits.
The main program is divided into three floors. The upper floor is where the sleeping area is located. Its orientation allows it to look towards the sea over the height of the trees. From this floor you can access the deck of the first floor, this deck is enjoyed as a belvedere over the landscape. Structurally it functions as a bridge between the garage that “approaches” the boundary of the plot and the communication core. This generates a shaded porch, which invites us to access the house. It is a piece closed to the street that gives privacy to the whole.
