Note: All the vertical and horizontal circulation areas should be considered according to your design.
The house- workshop has a total net internal area approximately of 270 m2. Patios and the outdoor spaces aren’t
considered from this area. The student has to be aware that he or she is designing a house-workshop and not just a
simple dwelling. Therefore, internal spaces will have spatial identification and arrangement in the relationship to
the outdoor spaces (patios, green area, etc...).
- The workshop must have appropriate height to fit the selected type of art and can be separated from the
house as long as some link is established and could allow a good view of the outdoor landscape.
- Inside the house, the living room must be naturally ventilated using more than one façade. The kitchen
must be easily accessible from the garage and arranged in such a way that it can serve the dining room
and the outdoor space.
- The clear height of the interior spaces will range between 2.7 meters to 6 meters and will be designed
according to the layout and spatial criteria.
The construction of the house-workshop follows the logical principles of the load-bearing wall construction
system. All the outer brick walls are 20cm wide brick walls. Ceilings will be executed with a concrete slab with
approximately 20 cm thickness. Internal walls are 10 cm.
The student has to reach in his/her work the consistency of a spatial system, where the relationships between the
built elements of the house and the plot enclosure the most sensible, avoiding that the house is reduced to the
construction of a simple building. Outdoor spaces should be converted into an active part of the project.
