The Design

About Ortho Residencia

O exterior defínese por dous volumes macizos de formigón desprazados con acabado de encofrado de táboas. No nivel principal, un pequeno patio e unha ampla terraza axardinada no lado sur serven como zonas intermedias onde os residentes poden gozar do característico ambiente exterior dunha vivenda estilo rancho mantendo a privacidade. Os clientes adquiriron a parcela escalonada de forma irregular como un lugar para pasar tempo significativo en familia.
