Ampliación de una vivienda existente en Vandoeuvres, Ginebra. Suiza

Abstract

[EN] The existing house was built in the early 70s in a traditional style. The project is not conceived as an extension of an existing building. It’s an abstract volume. One might wonder if their function is related to the garden (pool or sculpture), to the existing building or to the purely technical aspects. With the lightning system located in the glassed surface, the windows are lit at night creating an atmosphere that resembles an illuminated swimming pool. Reading abstract the expression of the existing house calls into question the language used in it. This project raises the question of the adequacy to the context and challenges the traditional decor that the existing housing proposed.

[ES] La vivienda preexistente fue construida a principios de los años 70 en un estilo tradicional. El proyecto no se concibe como una prolongación de un edificio existente. Se trata de un volumen abstracto. Nos podemos preguntar si su función se encuentra relacionada al jardín (piscina o escultura), a la vivienda o a una función puramente técnica (estación de transformación, central de ventilación o reserva).
