Ocher Houses

The houses are located on a parcel surrounded by traditional villas. In this context, regulations call for pitched roofs and projecting cornices. By reinterpreting these rules through a contemporary lens, the project proposes a volumetric reading that emphasizes dialogue with the landscape. The three building volumes are conceived as a collective ensemble, transcending the scale of the individual house through a generative system capable of extending and producing a textured fabric. Copy and paste: the repetition of a sculptural figure, as though reissued by casting, achieves an effect of seriality.

The program consists of three independent houses, each containing two dwellings of 127–135 m². Façade orientation optimizes views and exposure to the southwest. The volumetry derives from two essential operations: deformation and perforation. The first strategy deploys a volume that interprets regulatory constraints to form a polyhedron; a colored fiber-cement roof completes the geometry, reinforcing the perception of a unified mass. The second strategy consists of obliterating the surfaces of the seven equal faces, avoiding symmetry and superposition while enlarging openings to the point where scale abstraction is achieved.
