건축은 필요에 의해 실사용 공간을 형성하고 이에 따르는 잉여공간을
생성하기도 합니다. 태생적인 한계에 의해 불필요한 공간으로 정의되기도 하지만
이러한 공간 속에서 우리는 전체 공간이 숨쉴 수 있는 숨구멍을 찾기도 합니다.
여기 풀하우스는 물이라는 매개체를 이용하여 이러한 숨구멍을 표현합니다.
-여기서 말하는 잉여공간은 남겨져 필요없는 공간이 아니라
공간과 공간을 버퍼해주는 버퍼스페이스이자 서로의 독립성을 유지시켜주는
필터존 이자 세미 프라빗 스페이스로써 공간의 숨통과 같은 역활하는 곳을 가르킵니다.-
그리고 도시와의 서로 다른 관계로 인하여 각기 다른 볼륨과 객체성을 지닌 3개의 볼륨으로
구성됩니다. 하지만 곧 3개의 볼륨은 동일한 환경 속에서 서로를 인지하며 하나의 바운더리로 변화,
동기화 됩니다. 이러한 진행과정을 원만하게 이끌어가는 것은 볼륨 사이에 흐르는 긴장감을 완화시키는
틈에서 시작되는데, 이 틈이 바로 주출입구로부터 주거를 관통하여 흐르는 스위밍 풀장 입니다.
이렇게 공간을 가로 지르는 물은 각 볼륨간에 세미-프라빗 공간과 같은
반 중립지대 역활을 하는 동시에 공간 깊숙히 활동적이며 율동적인 에너지를 밀어 넣습니다.
그리고 곧 이러한 에너지는 건축적 모이스쳐 역활로 각각의 공간을 단단히 연결하며
소통시킴으로써 개성있는 공간을 지닌 주거로 변화 시킵니다.

It is a Project that research the relation between architecture and
water. We discuss the concept of a private swimming pool with a single
house in a low density program in the city. It is a rethinking, in a
sustainable way of life, to transform the way of promoting the east side
of Spain.

Location: Orihuela, Alicante, Spain

Dissolving the limits of the city. The city is transformed into architecture; the streets become ramps and water. Architecture twists and turns seeking nature, it looks towards the mountains of Orihuela, and it pokes out above its limitations. It is difficult to differentiate its limits, it is a city but also a landscape, it is a private space but at the same time it takes over a public space of the street. The built parts are reflected and fragmented through the use of reflex glass in the steel carpentries.
Three personalities and one environment formally, these are three independent volumes fused into one project. Each volume has its own personality and privacy. The meeting points between the parts are made by horizontal and vertical stairs, a “Y” bridge and double heights favoring expected and unexpected relationships. Semi-private and private places for meeting are intertwined as in life itself.
A pool within the house. There is a pool along the entrance, it is the heart of the project, and it creates an opening and makes the space vibrate in its environment. It swims across the house, crosses the “Y” bridge, illuminates and moistens house’s architecture. Water redefines the house, it isn’t a house with a pool, it is a house and it is a pool. The reflections, brightness and shades are the material used for building the interior space. The pool is not only something essential in the house, but it is the house.
The bridge is an entrance. The entrance is a bridge that crosses the pool. The steel and glass bridge serves to connect the layouts of the house. The “Y” shape is divided in a horizontal element and another inclined one (stairs). It is an undetermined connection that makes and undoes the ground floor plan. The transitions in the interior float over the orange pool, which is an acid, sweet and wet pleasure.
The plot is a volume. We didn’t want the work of the project to be based on square meters; we worked with atmospheres since we considered the plot as a volume. Throughout the whole process we sought surroundings, environments, experiences. Coming in and out, waking up in the morning, night time, eating, bathing… occurs inside and outside, between the built area and the exterior. This has been one of the greatest achievements.
Structural and constructive research. The process was long and exciting. Floating, tightening, leaning, connecting… these are words that came up when thinking about how to resolve the technicalities. The shape exists but one must find it in those processes, it is unknown but it is there. The inflection point is the multidisciplinary work. The result is an approach that tries to determine a program and its relationship with the city.
