Open Spaces | Design Lines

The innovative vision of current architects invites us to embrace significant changes in the design and layout of our homes. These changes represent a break from traditional residential construction standards, constantly adapting to contemporary lifestyles.

In a world filled with stimuli, finding beauty in simplicity and harmony is a luxury that transcends time and passing trends.

Interior-Exterior Connection

In this context, open spaces stand out as a solution that embodies timeless design. In architecture, it is crucial to consider the evolutions that impact our daily lives, as these can significantly influence our construction or renovation decisions.

OUR DESIGN LINES: OPEN SPACES

Interaction and Flexibility

Continuous interaction with those around us has become a norm, and this is reflected in the preference for open spaces. If our lifestyle changes, so must the environment we live in. From a technical perspective, open spaces offer multiple benefits: greater brightness, a sense of spaciousness, and a harmonious integration of the exterior with the interior design.

At e2b architects, we seek a fluid connection between interior and exterior spaces, creating open spaces that extend outward and are complemented by patios and porches. Our goal is to enhance the views of the surroundings and allow distant views to be integrated into the interior of the homes.

The timeless design of open spaces is not just a matter of aesthetics but a natural evolution towards more functional and adaptable environments, reflecting the way we live and interact today.

Some of our exemplary projects, such as Casa Ayllón, Entrepinos, RL, Cline, or NR, showcase how these concepts translate into homes that meet contemporary needs without losing sight of the timeless style that characterizes us:

The heart of the house is a large diaphanous space that houses the main uses and extends outward through large operable carpentry. In Casa Ayllón, this solution allows the interior to merge with the exterior porch, offering a flexibility of use that enhances the open nature of the design and facilitates a fluid connection between interior and exterior spaces.

The Pavilion is designed to become a space for enjoyment and contemplation of the environment, located on a plot with lush vegetation, featuring a centenary pine grove at its heart.

The design of the building focuses on maximizing the qualities of the environment and minimizing the impact on it. This premise leads to the Pavilion’s footprint breaking and adapting to the existing vegetation, approaching it as much as possible without the need to remove trees. This approach is complemented by large glazed openings towards the pine grove, blurring the boundaries between the interior and exterior of the building.

On this respectful footprint, the Pavilion materializes as a single-story structure that adopts a horizontal development and rises slightly above the ground. This not only provides better views but also conveys a sense of lightness. The building’s program develops practically in a single diaphanous space, extending towards a covered outdoor area, usable when weather permits.

The new flat roof redefines the exterior volumetry, providing a modern and functional aesthetic. The lightweight materiality of the exterior canopy allows for the extension of the home’s uses outward, integrating the pool and the existing surroundings. En la Casa RL, la continuidad material de techos y suelos potencia aún más la relación espacial entre el interior y el exterior, haciendo de esta vivienda un ejemplo destacado de diseño centrado en el espacio abierto y la integración con la naturaleza circundante.

The pursuit of greater spatial continuity through the elimination of interior divisions and the maximization of views via large glazed openings are the main design strategies.

Thus, in Casa Cline, the day area is organized as a large diaphanous space, where the structure and furniture establish the relationships between different programmatic areas. A large partition furniture delimits the night area and resolves part of the planned installations and storage.

Casa NR is strategically located at one end of the plot, freeing up as much space as possible to the north, where the densest and tallest vegetation is located. On the ground floor, the openings in the day area are oriented towards this side, seeking to visually expand the interior space towards the garden. However, on the upper floor, the focus changes, with views towards the Mediterranean in the east direction.

A metal lattice interrupts the white volume of the house, dividing it into two parts and organizing at the same time the exterior spaces, such as the parking area and the porch. This design aims not only to maximize the connection with the surrounding vegetation but also to offer panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, thus creating a harmonious balance between the natural environment and contemporary architecture.
