Detached house in Castellon
2014-2016
Fran Silvestre Arquitectos

The project, being the work of  Fran Silvestre Arquitectos (www.fransilvestrearquitectos.com/) is developed over a single level: the ground floor. Nevertheless, part of the built surface corresponds to a small basement converted out of the house that originally occupied the plot.

As regards to the structure, steel profiles were proposed, both vertically and horizontally, looking for a construction similar to that of the "Case Studies", a North American reference of the 1950s and 1960s in dry and steel construction. In this sense, the structure lies between a "steel-frame" approach and a more conventional steel structure on pillars.

As for how the equilibria has been played with, it is possible to emphasize the presence of significant overhangs, not compensated in the interior by a lack of continuity, which forced us to redouble the efforts to propose ways of balance sufficiently rigid at the same time as secure.
