Ochopatios modern minimalist home by studio mu

Ochopatios particular demand arises from the call for tender for Architecture Raffle a blueprint for the house that is drawn each year as the raffle prize of architecture.

Demand is inside a house of 120m2 with three bedrooms, dining room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, garage and BBQ on a plot of 500m2. 10 wide and 50 long with a 4mm front retreat in a residential area of ​​Montevideo.
The game comes on three premises:

Colonize the land 500m2 building 120m2 only. The house is all the land. To create this new program areas, outdoor branding without “spend” m2 allowed (a garden access, a hallway and a fluffy green general) and gives us the location of the concentrated result of indoor meters built the house ( not to lose a lot of circulation area) generating a front filter plant in order to continue the morphology of the neighborhood.

Multiply the areas of living space. Small spaces gives 120m2 divided in circulation discounting program areas, walls and services, expand the interior space for each creating its own private outdoor space, causing the senses are amplified with fluency in a spatial continuity.

Make a home … instead of responding to a rigid program is organized in the amount of rooms “with almost no name” to be set by the resident on duty.

Focus service areas and BBQ on a wall equipped, hard stone, with holes that are passages, closets, bathrooms, shelves, thimble, etc. And that divides the house in 2. On one side the bedrooms each with private patio (p03, p05 and P07) to the other, the dining room and kitchen sponges by a volume of air (P06), becoming the main area of ​​use unified by a continuous pavement wood.

All this creates a large continuous roof (the only material element strong addition to the “wall”) cut and articulated as gaps and roofed areas.
