CASA PEPITO
Renovation and extension of a traditional house.
Traditional patio is recovered, and the house is organized to enjoy favorable weather conditions of the Gran Canaria island. An extra floor is added to the original construction signifying the arrival of a new dweller after many years of the infrastructure abandonment.
The recovered patio aims to be the center of the activity of the house; rooms are widely open to it and spaces interconnected to expand the inside further out.
Architecture and construction solutions aim to enhance the use of traditional materials and techniques and provide new models to emphasize architecture values of the houses developed between the
30-s – 50´s in XX’s century.
This work is part of a broader urban strategy willing to foster the recovering of architecture values of La Isleta, the neighborhood developed along La Luz Port.
