HOUSING IN SEGOVIA
The given ground plot is right next to the Segovia Aqueduct, and has two very complex problems: the aqueduct and its identity and its topography, which sinks it nine meters under the square’s ground level.
The project focuses on solving those problems: a building that absolutely respects the identity of the aqueduct which at the same time solves the height differences in its topography. This is accomplished by a building of adjacent housing which is based in the patio house.
VIVIENDA EN SEGOVIA
El terreno dado se encuentra junto al acueducto de Segovia, con dos problemas muy complejos: el acueducto y su identidad y la topografía de la parcela, que se hunde tres plantas bajo la cota de la plaza.
El proyecto se centra en resolver dichas cuestiones, una construcción completamente respetuosa con la identidad del acueducto que resuelve la diferencia de cota y a su vez, dadas las dificultades hacia el exterior, viviendas que surgen de la hibridación de las tipologías de patio y palo.
