House MIM it’s conceived as an urban “Paradise”. It convenes nature in its multiplicity, from the natural light, the green spaces and the far and close horizon to participate in its composition.
The space from this patio house should be understood as a fusion in between spaces of contrasting dimensions. The systematic space with its defined functions crosses with the open space with its endogenous freedom, in order to melt in a complex and unique unity.
The classic circulation disappears and becomes a central open space which agglutinates everything and everybody, and in this way collectiveness is the social and cultural dimension from family and typology. This composition promotes all the spaces to come together in a direct and intense way with the exterior greenspaces which are punctuated with some trees with precise symbolism – “notes from paradise”.
