THE VILLA INSERTED IN A SUBDIVISION

The Gestal house is the result of a 2005 subdivision.

Over the years, the remaining houses have been built, breaking the continuity, as well as the image of the whole.

White as silence

The idea that one had to create a moment of pause in the set of unregenerate houses was being built up throughout the course of the study. White as a pause creates the moment of integration of a new building into the rest of the plot.

An area common to all the spaces has developed along the entire main floor, as if the light could pass through the entire body of the building.
