05 AM arquitectura develops house as living+exhibition space

conceived as half a home and half an exhibition space for contemporary artwork, this project developed by spanish studio 05 AM arquitectura is a striking hybrid space. the dwelling has been set in a way to avoid the presence of any neighboring constructions, liberating an open space on the southern side with visual amplitude.

living floor includes a dining room and a touch of artworks, evoking the exhibition space at ground level

05 AM acquitectura has designed the building as a four-volume body, disposed in two specific and alternate directions that define three double-height spaces – thus visually linking both floors. the ground floor hosts flexible exhibition rooms, while the first floor includes all living spaces. the stairs are strategically placed in  one of the double-height voids, communicating the exhibition and living floors where each of the four volumes will serve a specific use —  granting a functional clarity. 

main exterior view: the house is composed of four volumes, disposed in two specific and alternate directions

all in all, the project is a volumetric response to the setting, protected from the presence of adjacent buildings, and enclosing an exterior sunlit space. this simultaneously creates a unique relationship with the interior exhibition spaces. 

the project is a volumetric response to the surrounding context

corridor space of the living floor

the four bodies have different heights depending on the interior programme, allowing daylight to enter the house

double-height connection created by the four-body design

the exhibition space, in unison with the corridors and double-height spaces allow flexible displaying possibilities

the TV room is bathed in natural sunlight and characterized by spacious floor-to ceiling voids

stairs are placed in the double-height voids, communicating the exhibition and living floors

different volumes and orientations create flexible views, usages and visual experiences
