About the project
Casa KRUPPA
This is a house that unfolds to look at itself, the SKL house is staggered on a sloping topography by means of four modules. They, apparently independent, are joined by two garden tunnels that make this house a single unit. With the rotation of these pieces, angular openings are created that allow the creation of interior gardens, each one keeps the same proportions, but is inverted with respect to the previous one, which allows us to generate a common principle between roofs, ridge levels and side heights of the facades.
The SKL house, black on the outside and with light wood on the entire internal surface, is a place of levels and double heights, a clear place full of openings with different shades of color, the light never enters in the same direction. The glass and rotated facades create a transverse transparency throughout the house.
A bridge to access it, a metal walkway that supports a library over the social area, a ceramic workshop on the first level, a mesh on a double height, or a Turkish room are some of the elements and spaces that this home has. .
The SKL house is a home that is discovered when walking through it, a place of asymmetrical perspectives and contrasts between its finishes.
