BF House is located on a site with a flat topography among a hilly terrain. According to this, the owners requested a one story house to enjoy a large garden, so a basement was designed for a garage. The house has an \u201cL\u201d shape in order to frame the garden and the surrounding hill around it.<\/p>\n
In general, transparency was a main goal, visually as well as functionally. The social areas are open and connected evidently and in some cases in a subtle way. The bedrooms located in the long leg of the \u201cL\u201d shape are framed by the master bedroom at the end. The only space located on a second floor is the family room to keep it away from the daily activities.<\/p>\n
The walls in the social area are transparent and when privacy was needed, opaque, with the upper and lower edges in glass to give continuity between the interior and exterior.<\/p>\n
The roofs are mainly flat slabs with large overhangs to emphasize the lightness of design. They are linked by a concrete cenefa. Such \u201cbeltline\u201d was built in exposed concrete unifying all the building.<\/p>\n
Noble materials in their natural state were use: wood, concrete, glass, raw steel, water, vegetation and light.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
