About Dream House Etxebizitza-apartamentuaren barnealdea

Ametsetako Etxea 225 metro koadroko azalera guztizkoa duen etxebizitza-apartamentu baten barnealdea da. Banaketa kanpoarekiko loturen inguruan antolatuta dago. Balkoi batek eta leiho handiek eguneko argia eta inguruko paisaia planora ekartzen dute. Bainugelak eta logelak MDFz eginiko egurrezko paneletan definitzen dira, pribatutasuna babesten dutenak eta apartamentua erraz zatikatzea ahalbidetzen dutenak. Ate irristakorrek eta horma berde batek erabilera malgua sustatzen dute eta natura barnealdera gehitzen dute. Egurrezko zoruak logeletan erabiltzen dira eta harri sintetikozko zoladura gainerako eremuetan. Argiztapen guztia LED motakoa da.

Unique Properties
This project has unit throughout apartment. Internally, the house is organized around connections to the outside. The balcony and large windows provide deep light to the plan and bring the landscape into the house. Private spaces; toilets and sleeping quarters are formally arranged by the wood panels to allow a full house, protecting privacy. This strategy was employed to create a sense of drama for housing and allows for easy sectoring.
Dimensions & Packaging

Production Technology
The owner asked to do the interior design with materials, which will remit him to the nature, and with the precepts of sustainability. In this case, they choose timber floors certificated for the bedrooms and neolith, synthetic product, paving for the rest of the apartment and for the countertops. The neolith was glued to the existing floor to avoid waste and to speed up the work. The wood panels are made by MDF. In addition, all the lights are led.
Design Challenge
The challenge of this project was chose the right design to meet the clients expectations. Everything had to respect their concept of life. The correct choice of finishes and furnishings were very important to have the unity in all design! About the construction, all materials used are most modern and practical as possible to facilitate their moments at home! About the furniture, a mix of Brazilian design with Italian design and some points of ethnic design gave a singular result!
Research
The most important point to note is that when you live in a loft, you can not have privacy when you need it. Here, the use of wood panels allows for privacy and integration when needed. This flexibility; the connection to the outside and points of green areas inside the home is a modern way to live. This has transformed this house into a model for future development. This demonstrates that it is possible to live harmoniously with nature in a densely populated urban environment.
Inspiration
The concept of the renovation of this apartment is inspired in the lifestyle of the owners! They are a modern and young couple and they love to have their friends dividing their good moments! They live in a big city and as they do not have a way to live in a house, they asked to do their apartment with the sensations and with the same atmosphere of a house, with visual connections with outside and if it is possible surrounded by plants as they are nature lovers! This is their dream house!
Project Duration
The project started on September 2016 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and the construction began on July, 2017 and ended in December , 2018.
Operation Flow
The social area is integrated with the balcony and the kitchen to allow the perfect interaction among all people! Sliding doors can give privacy when needed! A green wall brings nature into their home. The material palette is simple, raw and not intended to be overly detailed. The use of wood panels instead of conventional masonry throughout, timber floors in the bedrooms and the neolith paving in the rest of the apartment gave a feeling of relaxation and integration.
