Contemporary Style and Spectacular Views at DC House

ByMyProperty Life

In this contemporary house project, the challenge proposed by the contracting party was to take advantage of the views from the land. The land, located in a neighborhood called La Pankana, allowed us to appreciate a 180-degree view of the city of Córdoba, due to its orientation and topography.

Taking this into consideration, the incorporation of the project into the land was achieved based on its function. In other words, once the plan was analyzed and studied, the function of each floor was connected to the topography of the land, thus intervening in the morphology of the project.

As for the ground floor, the social area was created, in which the living room, dining room, kitchen, entrance, verandas, and pool participate in each of the activities of this floor due to its permeability. The main staircase is located within the vertical core, which is surrounded by the zenithal light coming from the internal courtyard.

The private area was designed on the lower floor of the house. On the east side, there is a master bedroom, a dressing room, and a private bathroom. On the south side, on the other hand, there is another bedroom, a bathroom, and an office, which are connected by a corridor where the service area of this floor is located.

This design seeks to expose a purer volume, where the private area of the ground floor is located. The secondary volumes merge through the combination of iron, concrete, and stone, emphasizing the relationship between the house and its surroundings.

  • Villa Kivi

    VILLA KIVI Villa Kivi is a new generation log home on a tiny island in Finnish archipelago designed for himself by Finnish designer Vertti Kivi. Polar Life Haus, a Finnish wooden house manufacturer, was quick to pick it up for their collection. ‘The whole development process of the house was guided by our goal to bring the interior of the house together with the spectacular surroundings. We wanted to be part of sunset, snowstorm and even autumn storm on his tiny island in Finnish archipelago’, tells designer Vertti Kivi, the head of dSign Vertti Kivi & Co. ‘The starting point was a clear glass cube but we ended up creating glass walls reaching from the floor level up to the ceiling only to three sides of the structure. The north side with its separate sleeping rooms and bathroom is constructed of massive black wood beams that are in clear contrast to the glass and create feeling of cosyness and safety. Large terraces in one level create a sense of continuity between inside and outside. The floor plan is defined by Scandinavian clearness. The heart of the villa is the kitchen, located next to the entrance, and from there you can see the entire open interior and the surrounding sea. We like to think the kitchen island is like a DJ’s desk – the atmosphere of the whole interior space is created right there with the remote controlled lighting system. To guarantee the privacy of the bedrooms, they are located in the outermost corners of the villa, separate from each other. They too have one wall completely made of glass. An extra attention is paid on the details of the villa. Not a single molding can be found in the entire building. The doors have a hidden frame and they too reach from the floor to the ceiling. Drama and strong feeling are created by massive wooden surfaces and their color choices – snow white lacquer on the floor creates a contrast to the dark walls. To make the battened external walls coal black, we developed a special technique based on hundreds of years old Japanese traditions. In the evening, the atmosphere changes with different lighting schemes that can be timed to be in sync with nature. The end result is a clean-lined building in Scandinavian style which can be adapted to different needs and locations. It has a strong Finnish presence.
