The house explores the transformation of the traditional patio house – called Carmen. By definition, “A Carmen extends towards the exterior through porticoed spaces that serves as the transition between the house and the garden. Often, these porticos are ephemeral structures attached to the main house.”
Realejo House incorporates those ephemeral spaces permanently. The project was conceived as a continuous structure that involve the house and the patio, crystallizing our peculiar way of living between interior and exteriors.
