01 "inside-out house"1999
We turned a residual space in a 15th century building in the centre of Barcelona into our office and first home. It was composed of a corridor wound around 3 sides of a courtyard and a single large room on the fourth side. Here we employ a marked hierarchy of served/serving space and low programmatic entropy which continues.The corridor contains as much as possible (utilitites and storage), the large room as little as possible (flexibility and universality). The natural light comes from the inside (the courtyard) and the services are on the outside (façade) - thus the "inside-out house".
