Guest pavilion 1401 in Begur, Costa Brava
Inglés:
The assignment consisted in the construction of a guest pavilion as an extension of the main house.
The first thought by Nordest Arquitectura was to create a shape clear and simple, a cuboid placed in the middle of the forest.
The property should change the surrounding characteristics as little as possible, as if it had always been there.
The pavilion is defined by a ‘U’ materialised in Corten steel with a slat facade that creates a retreat inside, a place to be and contemplate.
The property entrance is in the ground floor. It is like a kind sculptural void inside the ground, you enter on it, then you go upstairs through it to the pavilion.
The home interior is understood as one space: a living- bedroom space and in one corner there’s the bathroom.
The east, south and west façades are totally glazed, with a solar protection made of Corten steel sliding lattice.
The north façade has more controlled openings that illuminate the bathroom and the entrance staircase.
Catalan text
Casa 1401, Sa Tuna, Begur
Català:
L’encàrrec consisteix en la construcció d’un pavelló annex a la casa principal.
La volumetria és molt clara i simple, un ortoedre situat al mig del bosc, modificant al mínim les característiques del seu entorn, com si sempre hagués estat allà.
El pavelló queda definite per una U de corten i una gelosia que creen un refugi al seu interior, un espai d’estar i de contemplació.
L’accés a l’interior es realitza per la planta inferior. Aquest es caracteritza per ser una espècie de buidat escultòric dins la terra per després ascendir, mitjançant l’escala, fins al pavelló.
L’interior s’entén com un espai diàfan: una zona d’estar i un dormitori. En una cantonada hi resta tancat el bany, l’únic espai limitat espacialment.
Les façanes est, sud i oest són totalment vidriades amb una protecció solar exterior formada per porticons corredors amb gelosia. La façana nord disposa d’unes obertures més controlades que il·luminen i ventilen els espais de l’escala i el bany.
